The commentary, Da'at Sofrim, suggests that the word terumah stems from the two letter root, "ram," which means elevated. The greatest gift we can offer is one that expresses and elevates our unique, individual self. We are all different, but when we come together offering our unique contributions, we provide a dwelling place for Hashem in this world.
Aliya to Eretz Yisrael is a similar process. We arrive here - all ages, all professions, diverse backgrounds - and we make our individual and varied contributions to the land and the Jewish people. Eretz Yisrael is indeed God’s country - a land where we can bring our spiritual potential to full expression. It is in Eretz Yisrael, the only place in the world where one can observe all the mitzvot, that Hashem will meld our unique and individual contributions to form the Third Temple and dwell among us.
