Well, if the Chareidim were first, how were they not able to convince the British Mandate to have open door policy to every Jew? Especially during the Holocaust. Or maybe they simply didn’t care about or embrace every Jew?
Hence:- B’H the wonderful Zionist were able & Zochim to institute Medinat Yisroel & open door policy to every Jew, and it is a wonderful Zechus to commemorate this auspices time each & every year on Yom ha’Atzmaut.
If this is not enough, yesterday xmas morning, Rav Reisman shlita at his Hakhel at his Shul mentioned, that whatever the pros & cons of having a Medina were before it happened, now that we B’H do have the Medina, we simply work along & go along with it. & IY’H it is here to stay, and even if we cannot make Aliya, for sure we should travel to Israel, rather than to some European destination.
It is my honor to patronize El Al, and to maximize the # of trips I make to Israel, and patronize & enhance the Israeli economy. Just as it is my honor to converse in Ivrit & maximize my practice & usage of Ivrit.
