Israel; Hebrew, “straight [to] God.” Of Israel, Baal HaSulam said, “Israel is he who strains himself to return to his root” (A Sage’s Fruit, Letters, Letter no. 17). The Lord has said:
“Who is the House of Israel? Who are my Covenant Peoples? And behold, I say unto thee that these are the people of Israel: these are those of Yashar-El, the path Straight to God; these are those that shall seek my face, and turn not from me; these are they that shall taste the fruit of the Tree of Life, and it shall taste sweet, and these shall not turn away; these are they who shall love the Lord their God with all their hearts, minds, and strength, and this they shall show by their love for their fellow man, and their care for the Earth and her creatures; these are they that shall do my works, and shall bring to pass the oneness of the Heavens and the Earth; these are they that to whom I shall say: Well done, my good and faithful servants.” -Doctrines of the Saints 2g:20-26
