Journey to Lithuania: Vilna - The 7 Secret Reasons the Vilna Gaon Never Made It To Eretz Yisroel

Okay, our closing presentation here in VNA. We're leaving the city of INA. And of course, we know there was a point in time where the VN also set out and embarked to leave VNA to go to Artis sometime after his father passed away when one of his daughters were already married and he still had small children in the house. He set off to go to Israel, but we know ultimately he didn't make it. Why not? So if you look in the introduction of the beer hagra his son's right that the grass said that shamayim did not allow him to shayim did not allow him to that's one reason however there are many other reasons and uh ideas that are proposed for why the vagin ultimately did not go to Israel the aban of kish says he is sure that the vagin was a spark of mobu and just Like was not allowed entry into likewise. Now this would this is in line with what we mentioned from the that said that our attitude toward the go is like raashi but he mentions and indeed very much like just like was not able to go into the go cannot make him. Others say that the go like the rebi of wanted to reinstate and when the realized he would not be able to reinstate he decided not to return to Israel. Others suggest that the goen was afraid that the ship that he would travel on would have wormy bread and if he would have wormy bread he would not be able to have three sudois on chabas and therefore it was worthwhile for him not to go to Israel so as not to give up having three sudois on chabas. Others suggest that the first rash that the go would make it to Israel rash came out on chabas. The villag held that if rash comes out on shabas inim you have to blow shaur and he was concerned that others would not agree and therefore the did not go. Still others suggest that the go wanted to be mahm to be mafish masser on land owned by akum but since the bio disagreed with that in deference to the bio the go did not want to be put in that position and so others say that the go heard reports that the ashkanazim were being persecuted in so these are seven possible reasons why the go did not make it into is ultimately The go was not given rus to go. So we're now leaving the city of we were to on the of the and many and visit many others who were buried here. Getting off.
