IT'S TIME TO COME HOME!

Hi, I'm Amy Glazer and this is Cole Gula. Today is Yomish, the day that Clrol got back, the old city and all parts of were united. So I'd like to start with a gar from Yuma was swimming in the garden came gave him a hand to help him get out and he says tells I hate you why and he explains If you yidden from would have come up in the time of Ezra like strong all of you together is you would be like silver that doesn't ever rot. You came like doors. Some of you came, some of you didn't. Shak of you're you're like a error is like a tree that could rot and we know from kazal that the b shi only happened because didn't all come back and the wasn't properly sure on the base of mdash it says many things about ba sheni that wasn't complete because klades didn't come back now why didn't clra come back well the main reason was because they were comfortable those who were comfortable and had established businesses is and had homes didn't come back. The ones who did come back were the the poor people. The yidden who stayed had excuses. It's kesh. It's notem. This isn't gulma. This isn't it's a secular king telling us we could go build mikdash. It's meaningless. But yet the garra tells us that if they did go up and build bas mikdash that would have been gushma bas mikdash wouldn't have ever been destroyed again. Now, I find this to be a very stark comparison to what's going on today. We as a community have gotten very comfortable here in Galos. So much so that we don't even know why we should move to Israel. We're established. We have mistas, we have kahilas, we have we have rabbis, we have we have everything here. What do we need in Israel? If there's any community in the world that should value, it's us. We follow every mitzvah in the Torah. But somehow this one mitzvah of Israel has completely disappeared. Now why? Why did it disappear? I think it's pretty obvious. The satireba when the state of Israel was being established came out very strongly against it because it was established by Zionists and these Zionists were secular Zionists. It's it's surprising that secular atheists could have such a strong passion for its Israel and and do so such mysterious nefish. I mean you read the stories of how it didn't make any sense that the state of Israel is going to survive even the independence war but somehow they fought and fought or mister Nefish and it happened. Here we are 78 years later and 59 years after we got your line back and yet community is still not sure why is even relevant to the discussion. Yes, we say it every day by ding by benching but it's just doing and benching. It's not like what do you mean? What am I going to do in Artistra? Like we have communities here. What do you mean? Our misdas are here. Our bunny are here. Our cars in our homes. We're all good. Now I I I get it. I get it. It's hard. It's not easy. It's time to be honest with yourself and say, "We forgot. We forgot about this mitzvah. This mitzvah that so many write about the one who established the society as we know it today. He says that planting a tree in art is like putting on fillin the raan holds its mitz to live in artisra. I think it's about time we realize that goula is in a process regardless of who initiated it or who it seems initiated it. Gula's in a process. It's happening. And if it's happening then we should be the first ones leading it. We should not be the ones staying behind and being drawn or having to escape to Israel because the anti-semitism here gets too bad. We should be the one bringing it because we understand more than anyone else what Gula means. We know what goulasha means and we know that we're not going to settle for anything less than goulashma as the satabi taught us to do. If you want to be a yid that really believes in goulashma, well, how about be the example? Be an example of a yid that wants gulish lma that wants bas mdash that wants to move to that wants kl is to come back to Israel. Don't be a y that makes it more comfortable and more convenient to stay here longer and deny the fact that our destiny and our will is to be. So with that being said, I bless us all to have the light and the love for Israel turn back on in our hearts so that we can together bring bases because if Hashem feels it sus that that's what we want that's what it'll bring. I bless us all to see the ghoulish lame of the carve from Erit Israel and we should see the true rebuilding of your line full glory the carve. Amen.
