Natural Gas‚ Oil‚ and Natural Treasures of Eretz Yisroel in Preparation of the Geula 17 Av 5770 / 28/07/2010

The Lubavitcher Rebbe Revealed where there are Natural Gas and Oil, where Gems are Concealed, which Bank is the Best * A Guide for those who Wish to be Rich 

The Torah states that the Land of Israel is "a country thou shalt not lack any thing in it" ..." (Devorim, 8/9). The Midrash explains this verse as follows: all the world′s existing natural resources can be found in the Land of Israel (Yalkut Meam Loez). 

Natural Gas, Oil, and Natural Treasures of Eretz Yisroel in Preparation of the Geula 

During this past year, scientific and factual verifications were obtained, when oil and gas deposits were found in the Land of Israel in large quantities on land and at sea. The American government, which has studied the phenomenon, issued an opinion these days with a single conclusion – there are categorically vast amounts of natural gas in the Land of Israel... 

In the year 5750, (1990), R′ Tovia Luskin received a dollar from the Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Sunday Dollars line. Along with the dollar, R′ Tovia asked the Rebbe for a blessing for his project. The Rebbe added his blessing regarding his finding oil in Israel:  
. "You have my blessing that you will have good news in the near future"  

Eight years later, in 5758 (1998), geologists determined, according to results of the oil drilling north of Rosh Haayin (the inheritance of Yosef HaTzaddik), that there are indeed very large oil deposits!

  
In 5769 (2009), a huge natural gas reservoir was discovered off the coast of Haifa Bay, by a number of leading companies in Israel. The large quantities of natural gas could provide energy for future generations. According to expert opinion, the estimated value of the reservoir reaches tens of billions of dollars.
 

Pearls and Precious Gems 

In the year "Tismach" (5748/1988), Mr. Arye Goral, then current mayor of Haifa, came to the Rebbe′s Sunday Dollar line. During the conversation, the Rebbe said the following: "... In Haifa there is a sea, and one should not be impressed by its depth. This is a matter for Haifa, which has sea, and there is a valley, and in the valley, there are pearls and gems. G-d did something surprising: He put them deep into the countryside, and in any case, in the depth of the river ..." 

Another example of the Rebbe′s opinion about investing in Eretz Yisroel: In 5751, the head of the JNF- Bonds (Keren Kayemet L′Yisroel), Mr. Mordechai Dovid Segal came to the Rebbe at "Sunday Dollars". He asked the Rebbe′s advice on how to convince Jews to invest in Eretz Yisroel. The Rebbe′s reply was emphatic: "Eretz Yisroel is the safest place in the world, which means that any person who invests his assets- his money- in Eretz Yisroel, is investing in the most secure "bank" in existence in our generation."
