Conclusion
With the conclusion of these words of truth, we return to the foundational principle, to something obvious and clear: Residing in Eretz Ysrael is very important and very central to the Torah. Just as it seems from the Torah, so it is. What, then, has been achieved by this book? What in it is novel?
Truly, the whole matter is obvious and self-evident from the Torah; nonetheless, we have achieved great understanding and introduced a significant novelty in clarifying the place of Eretz Yisrael in the religion of the Torah and understanding its notion.
Firstly, we revisited all sides of the arguments that claim that this splendid truth is not currently applicable, for one reason or another, that something has changed or is unattainable; we have rebutted them all with clear words and recovered the original idea as it manifests in all its clarity. I fully hope this book will be the final teaching on the matter, to restore Zion to its place at the center of the Torah.
Secondly, we merited to elucidate exactly what the Torah demands of us regarding Eretz Yisrael, through understanding how and why Eretz Yisrael is so central to it. Thus, we can properly fulfill the foundational mitzvah that is equivalent to all others; it was explained when to return, the way to return, and how to establish a holy land. I hope this book will serve as a guide and a lamp for all the children of Zion returning to it with joy.
My brothers and friends, let us come and return to the foundational principle. The time has come.

While this translation serves as a starting point, the possibility of a proper English edition is being explored to make these ideas accessible to even more people. If you feel inspired to help bring this vision to life, please reach out at jacoblightsfoundation@gmail.com.
In the meantime, a few copies of the original book are still available here – don’t miss the chance to own one before they’re gone! Together, we can ensure the love for the land and its divine purpose continues to grow in the hearts of all who seek it.
