Why am I part of HaBayit?

I have always believed in making ties through mutual understanding and bridging of cultural differences. I see the Land of Israel as my only home, and the only home of the Nation of Israel in general. I connect to the land through our deeply rooted history in this land as a people. I believe that for us to show love to our land, we have to appreciate all parts of it and all the communities that inhabit it. My belief in peace comes through my pride in my identity and the understanding that there are various cultures coexisting in this land.

I have never found truth in most of the well-known peace organizations in Israel because most of them promote the idea that for us to achieve peace, we must give up on parts of our ancient homeland and even parts of our Jewish identity. I believe its not up to us to give up on the aspirations that kept out nation alive through 2000 years of diaspora. True and viable peace will come through deep connection to Jewish heritage and appreciation to our homeland.

To me, HaBayit represents the perfect balance between a strong Jewish identity and the belief in humanity and life of peace with our extended family.
