A Thought

Imagine you could go back four generations - your grandfather's grandfather.

Imagine you were able to tell him that you were able to live in Israel - and that there WAS an Israel. What do you think he would say?

Four generations ago, people prayed thrice daily to be able to kiss the dirt of the Land. They did not care about government or finances, because they had neither. They did have an instinctive understanding that their home was there, their place was there, and that was all that mattered. The stories of the Vilna Gaon, the Baal Shem Tov, Rebbe Nachman from Breslov, the Ohr HaChaim...and countless others, all tried valiantly to settle in Eretz Yisrael (some with success, and some not).

I don't want to touch on politics (secular or religious). I just want to draw attention to the fact that we have an historic opportunity to do so something that millions of our ancestors wanted desperately to do. And that I am beyond excited to do it.
