so let us stop being self-centered & start think about others-besides ourselves-& help them in any kind of help someone might need (not everything in life is money)
Maybe no one ever explained it to you properly, but next year in jerusalem means we hope moshiach gathers us to there. Without moshiach, it’s not enough to just go there. I guess there goes your aliyah advertising slogan :p
What’s wrong with building nice houses? Mah nafshach – if moshiach comes tomorrow we will happily leave it behind and if he doesn”t then we stay.
