Once again, even Rabbi Schachter from YU agrees that there are those who should NOT move to E”Y.

So, once again, what source in Chazal can you find for the practice of arbitrarily and deliberately instilling in anyone an arbitrary love for E”Y, as, for example, mentioned by a poster in this thread that she is “working on Ahavat E”Y” in Seminary this year?

This question, in my humble view, is particularly important considering, as I pointed out earlier that instilling this love of E”Y can, in certain cases, be counter-productive and spiritually damaging because a person might then allow that love to take precedence over his needs in ruchnius, etc. if his particular avodas Hashem would in fact be better outside E”Y.
