As you know, it was your view that sp...Dear Batya;<br /><br />As you know, it was your view that spurred me to write this post. Although I admire your keen insight and enjoy your Musings (which is why I include your site in my blogroll even though you don't reciprocate), this one view of yours I definitely disagree with. Over Shavuot, other important reasons occurred to me.<br /><br />The Rebbe often talked of the "5th son", beside the "4 sons" we read about in the Passover Hagada. The 4 sons have one thing in common, they come to the Passover seder. The 5th son, on the other hand, doesn't even know about Passover, let alone attend the seder.<br /><br />There are many such Jews all over the world. Many don't even know they're Jewish. Chabad does a great job in reaching out to these lost souls. The Rebbe's hand is long and his energy drives many of us to do this outreach. Why, every Friday it's almost tradition for young Chabadniks to take to the inner cities or outer suburbia to locate and touch these Jewish souls. <br /><br />I did not mention this as a reason for negating Red Hen thinking, because I did not think of it at the time, but it too, as I said, is an important role to play in Chutz La'Aretz. <br /><br />There are, in fact, more reasons, I know of - but for now, suffice it to say - uprooting one's place in Chutz La'Aretz, while it may be a noble move, is, in no way, mandatory.<br /><br />Have a great year!in the vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796434751654291581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32809541.post-80554244907461952572011-06-07T04:03:52.849-04:002011-06-07T04:03:52.849-04:00Batya; Lech Lecha is not a mitzva.

The Moshiach will only come when we're ready, and stage one to being ready is following "Lech Lecha."<br />Leave your old life, values, culture, land and come to the Land I will show you... the Holy Land, Eretz Yisrael.<br />When we begin building the Beit HaMikdash it will be completed miraculously.

Also where does it say, 'stay where you are and wait till mashiach comes?' If Christians are flocking to Israel to live on the land in Judea and Samaria, shouldn't we be just as enthusiastic - or more than that? More holy G-d fearing Jews should make Aliyah to tip the scales so we can gain G-d's favor. We are going as soon as b'zrat Hashem we are able.
