Do you think that if the “event” was created anywhere in EY that the result would be different?
If the exact same “kibbutz” was set up by the meoras ha machpelah do you really think the end result would be any different?
People are going for the experience of being part of an event, not bc there is inherent kedusha to the spot. And frankly I find the idea slightly kfiridik. It’s one thing to assign kedusha to an area immediately around the kever of a tzadik. But since most of these 60k aren’t anywhere near the kever, please explain the kedusha.
The Arizal said that if we understood the kedusha of the meoras hamachpeleh we would start kissing the dirt miles bf we got there.
To ascribe some similar kedusha to Uman is kefira.
