Chananya Weissman: Sefer Kibbutz Galuyos, Gebunden

Klappentext

If we are not to dismiss the rejuvenation of Jewish life in Israel as a theologically insignificant event - and how can we? - then those who choose to remain in galus - and it IS a choice - must find support from the Torah for their decision. Many Jews believe there is no theological imperative to move to Eretz Yisrael, or at least to seriously attempt to overcome the obstacles they may face, and it is therefore Hashem's decision that they will remain in galus until Moshiach comes. Some even believe a mass return to Eretz Yisrael before Moshiach comes is forbidden. However, a study of the pertinent Torah sources leaves no room for doubt. Barring exceptional circumstances, living in Eretz Yisrael today is not only permitted, but is strongly preferred, a tremendous merit and mitzvah, to the point of being a religious imperative - before Moshiach comes. This is true even when Eretz Yisrael is ruled by wicked people and Erev Rav, as is the case today. Let's clear our minds of the sound bites and see what the Torah and Chazal actually have to say. Sefer Kibbutz Galuyos brings a wealth of clear, direct Torah sources on returning to Eretz Yisrael before Moshiach comes, straightforward analysis and application to contemporary times, and a lengthy appendix of articles addressing the issue from a variety of angles.
