The Holy Land is important to the Jewish nation because it was the land promised to them by God, according to the the writings of their holy book, the Torah. Some basic Jewish history: The Jewish people were enslaved in Egypt for many years. A prophet, Moses, led the people in an exodus out of Egypt after convincing Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Once freed, the nation followed Moses through desert for more than forty years during which time God promised to lead them to a land flowing with milk and honey. They eventually did reach this place (now assumed to have existed in the region of Palestine) and successfully conquered the people that lived there. Because of this struggle, the Holy Land is incredibly important to the Jewish people and their culture.

Why is Reb Saunders against the idea of Palestine becoming the homeland of the Jews?
Reb Saunders believes, like a number of Orthodox Jews, that the Galut (the Exile from the Holy Land) was a divine act of punishment because Jews had violated the commandments that God had given them. When God believed that the Jewish people had repented and were ready for the Messiah, this Messiah would come and bring the Jews back to the Holy Land. Until that time, Jews will remain in exile. They see a Return to the Holy Land as being an act of blasphemy because Jews should wait for God to bring them into the Holy Land and not to physically move there of their own free will.
