<p>Is there an essential connection between the individual natures of the sons of Jacob and the territory that each of the twelve tribes later called its own? In this fascinating and thought-provoking second edition to her popular book, noted lecturer and tour guide Tamar Weissman takes an original look at the relationship between the forebears of the tribes and the territorial allotments, or nahalot, granted each one. Tribal Lands: The Twelve Tribes of Israel in Their Ancestral Territories explores the design to land apportionment. Having masterfully canvased a wealth of source material, Weissman presents a comprehensive picture of the individual personalities of the twelve tribes of Israel. She then discusses the natural features of their territories, suggesting connections between the tribe and its inheritance. The description of every nahalah is followed by a detailed, modern-day tour itinerary, allowing the reader the rewarding adventure of encountering the land on his or her own. With an extensive and riveting new foreword by Rabbanit Shani Taragin, Tribal Lands presents a new way of thinking about - and experiencing - the interplay of text and land. Many tour Israel with Bible in hand, but to tour with a deeper understanding of tribal character, and how that character was realized by the contours of its lands, is a rich experience for the serious Bible student. Rise, and walk the land - not just casually, to see the sites, but to sense, and even to participate in, the unfolding of tribal destiny within the twelve nahalot.</p>
