When you come to the land and you plant any tree...

“The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.” Isaiah 35:1

"A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds… a silent mournful expanse…. a desolation…. we never saw a human being on the whole route…. hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.” Mark Twain

Yet, since G.d has begun regathering the exiled Jews from all over the world to their homeland, millions of trees have been planted and are flourishing as the ‘desert blooms’, fulfilling one of the many prophecies regarding Israel.
