The house of Israel is an ancient nation indiginous to the land of Israel. The Tora and its satelite writing codified both a sustainable “code of conduct” in regard to ecological agricultural practices and their intrinsic connection to the human condition.
The connection to the land and the people that live upon it may seem obvious but, it is rarely if ever documented as a single unified and codified method for maintaining a healthy and ecologically sound and sustainable environment.
