I live on the Mount of Olives, facing the place where the Temple stood — and will stand again.
On Substack I write Geula Movement: essays and daily notes on Aliyah, redemption, and why the Jewish future is in Israel, not in exile. It's free to subscribe.

Chazal did not soften it: כל הדר בארץ ישראל דומה כמי שיש לו אלוה וכל הדר בחוץ לארץ דומה כמי שאין לו אלוה — whoever dwells in Eretz Yisrael is like one who has a God, and whoever dwells outside the Land is like one who has no God (Ketubot 110b). Address is not geography. It is theology.

A question for Toldot week: Yitzchak stayed in the Land through famine and never went down to Egypt (Bereishit 26:2). What hard season is testing you right now — and if you are already home, what kept you here through it? And if you are not yet home, what would make you stay once you come?

No Jew Will Be Left Behind
Are we working to bring the exile to an end, or have we become so successful at maintaining Jewish life abroad that we have inadvertently made Galus itself desirable?

We pray three times a day for the ingathering of our exiles. Surely we should be prepared to participate in answering our own prayers.

שיקרתם במצח נחושה שלעולם לא תסתמכו על קולות המשותפת.
מה קרה לכם ?
עם ישראל לא יסלח לכם על ברית הקלון עם מי שמהללים רוצחים ומשימת חייהם היא ביטולה של המדינה היהודית‼️‼️‼️‼️
הַקֹּל קוֹל יַעֲקֹב וְהַיָּדַיִם יְדֵי עֵשָׂו — "The voice is the voice of Yaakov, but the hands are the hands of Esav" (Bereishit 27:22). Geula needs both: Yaakov's voice of Torah, and hands willing to build and defend a home. A voice without hands stays in exile.

A question for Toldot week: Yitzchak blessed Yaakov with dew from heaven and fat from this Land (Bereishit 27:28). What blessing are you still trying to receive from exile — and what would change if you came to receive it here, where it was spoken? And if you are already home, which blessing met you here?

וְיִתֶּן־לְךָ הָאֱלֹהִים מִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם וּמִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ — "May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fat of the land" (Bereishit 27:28). Yitzchak's blessing is not heaven alone. It is heaven touching this Land. A Judaism of heaven without land is only half a blessing.

A question for Toldot week: Hashem told Yitzchak in Be'er Sheva, "Do not fear, for I am with you" (Bereishit 26:24). What fear is still keeping you from coming home — safety, parnassah, family? And if you are already home, what did His presence look like when that fear met reality?

Remember very few Jews came back to rebuild the land from the Babylonian Exile with Ezra. Despite his efforts most didn’t return, primarily the religious ones. Even after the prophecies being fulfilled in front of their faces. THEY DIDNT FLINCH! Not to mention the prophet Haggai instructing them to rebuild the temple. History repeats itself. #JUSTSAYING
אַל־תִּירָא כִּי־אִתְּךָ אָנֹכִי — "Do not fear, for I am with you" (Bereishit 26:24). Hashem said it to Yitzchak at night, in Be'er Sheva, in this Land — not in exile. Fear is real. The answer is not a safer exile. It is His presence, promised here.
