Reply To: Is Israel part of galus?

Of course the galus exists in Israel On the contrary, over there the galus is deeper and darker, because one is in the place where the geulah should be visible, and yet it’s not. To stand at the kosel and know that the so-called “Israeli” government does not have the power to rebuild the beis hamikdosh or even to start korbanos even if it wanted to — and even worse that it doesn’t even want to! — what darker galus could there be? That it openly declares that it is not and will never be a state of halacha, what bitterer galus could there be?
