History

The birthplace of the Jewish people is the Land of Israel. The first thousand years are recorded in the Bible. Its cultural, religious, and national identity was formed; and there, its presence has continued through the centuries even after the majority was forced to exit. During the many years of  the Jewish people never severed or forgot its bond with the Land.The making of the State of Israel in 1948 Jewish independence lost 2,000 years earlier, was remade. http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Facts+About+Israel/History/Facts+about+Israel-+History.htm
