Call Of Moshiach 6 - Israel is Built on Sacrifice

Reb Goldwag:

We continue our study of the sefer Em Habonim Semecha, where he explains that the reason Avraham Avinu merited to be given the land of Israel was because of his willingness to give up his life for Hashem. To the degree that we are willing to sacrifice to serve Hashem properly - whether it is in learning Torah or keeping any of the commandments or living in Israel, that is what makes us proper inheritors to receive the land of Israel.
