Question:
Why do Jews worship Israel?
Simple question
Thanks
Answer:
Thank you for the question.
Here’s a simple answer, the Jews do not worship Israel. Although the Jews believe that there is a certain holiness to the land of Israel, we definitely do not and are not allowed to worship anything except G-d Himself. The G-d who created the heaven and the earth, the one who took us out of Egypt and gave us the Torah on Mount Sinai.
The Jews are very attached to the land of Israel. It is the land that was given to us by G-d Himself and repeated numerous times in the bible. It is the homeland where we once had the holy Temple, and it is the land when the Holy Temple will be rebuilt when the Messiah comes. Therefore we are very attached to our homeland, however we do not worship the land. In fact it would be considered idolatry if we did.
Best wishes
