Although there are many verses in the Bible that indicate the presence of precious gems in the Holy Land of Israel, no one in documented history has ever thought of mining for precious gems in the Holy Land, especially in light of the geological information that was known about the area, that is until 1988. When the grand rabbi & international spiritual leader, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, revealed to the world that precious gems do exist in the Holy Land, and indicated the precise area “in the valley of Haife “, and amazingly stated that:
“God almighty did a wondrous thing, He Himself concealed them in the depths of The Earth.”
