The Torah highlights Avraham's purchase of the Cave of Machpelah as a pivotal, defining moment in the history of the Jewish nation - the first Jewish land acquisition in Israel. The burial of the Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs in the Cave of Machpelah was the precedent that established the significance of Jewish burial in Israel.
Today, you have the opportunity to embrace the heritage of our forefathers by selecting burial in Sha'ar HaMenuchot.
