bs\"d DECLARATION * The Land of Israel, Eretz Yisroel, belongs to G-d. In fact, the entire land belongs to G-d since the world was created by G-d. (see first verse in Breishit and Rashi\'s commentary on the first verse). * G-d chooses the Nation of Israel, Am Yisroel, to be the rightful stewards of the Land of Israel. Even when the people of Israel sin, G-d does not forsake His promise and will remember His promise to the people of Israel. * Eretz Yisroel, was promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and to their children as an everlasting Covenant. * The borders of Eretz Yisroel are delineated in Chumash Bamidbar (Book of Numbers) Parshath Masei(Chapter 34). * Only Am Yisroel are obligated to keep the commandments that are dependant on the Land of Israel, thereby bringing peace, security and blessings to the Nation of Israel and to the nations of the world. In this declaration we reiterate fundamental principles of our Torah regarding the Land of Israel. The Torah is actualized to its full potential only in the Land of Israel. Therefore it is the logical conclusion of the signers of this petition that territorial concessions on the part of Israel indicates lack of Emunah (faith) and Bitachon (trust) in G-d\'s ability to fulfill His promise to the Nation of Israel and our own unwillingness and lack of yearning to focus on our obligations of the Covenant (i.e. keeping the commandments in the Land of Israel and commandments dependant on the Land of Israel). By signing this petition you become automatic members of CAJL which requires nothing more than signing this declaration.
