hills of jerusalem

While spending Shabbath in Lod, for the first time I was able to differentiate the feel of Eretz Yisrael from the feel of Yerushalayim. Since it's a feeling it isn't easy to put into words, but the most basic component is that in Eretz Yisrael you feel the 'Am' the nation much more strongly. In Yerushalayim, which is a level of kedushah above that of Eretz Yisrael already the feeling of the nation starts to become batel (nullified) to the feeling of the presence of HaShem.
