Monday, the 28 Nisan is the date when Yehoshua Ben Nun (Joshua) conquered Yericho the gateway to Eretz Yisrael. It is telling that the Aleinu paryer said at the end of three daily services was composed by Yehoshua at that time. The kabbalists (Sha’ar HaKvanot) associate the prayer that proclaims Jewry’s gratitude for being selected from among the nations because it is G-D who has created all existence is ensure that nothing negative affect the D-vine energy accessed through prayer.
In light of the above consider the first the Rashi on Chumash that the sole basis to a Jewish claim to Eretz Yisrael lies in G-D’s allocation of land and nothing else.
As Yehoshua opened up the land militarily he know only G-D, the Ribono Shel Olam (Master of Existense) could deed the land to His people. A point for today's leaders to ponder
