    To spin off the Israeli Jews thread… do a American Jews have more options to get away in case of emergency?

    Thank you

    An emergency is unlikely. More likely is American becoming increasingly secular and turning to a “freedom from religion” regime. Since Israel is already run by anti-religious and will move more towards secular extremism to follow the Americans, there is obviously a problem.

    if the Arab-Israeli conflict were settled, migration back to Islamic countries becomes possible. There are conservative religious countries in some parts of Africa and Asia. One should not rule out the possibility of moving to another planet should that become technologically workable.

    Note that the conditions that cause frum Jews to feel a need to leave the United States are likely to affect many other religious groups who exist at the margins of American society.

    The Chofetz Chaim said that America will be Klal Yisroel’s last stop in golus before the geula.

    To Slonimer – I have looked all over, I have never seen that in writing. Can you tell me where that is written or quoted?
    See Bereishes Rabbah in the beginning of Vayishlach – vayachatz leshnei machanos – This refers to the Jews in Israel and in Galus, if one becomes destroyed, the second will survive.

    Is there a source for that?

    The Chofetz Chaim lived to a ripe old age and said many things verbally that weren’t recorded in his seforim. This is a well known quote from him.

    The version I heard has a chain going back to Rav Chaim of Volozhin that the Jews in America will never be persecuted as Jews. Of course, it does not mean that they will not be persecuted for some other reason, as were many leftist Jews in Argentina. It also begs the question of the self-holocaust being perpetrated.

    The South. I don’t see any issues and we need more kosher restaurants and supermarkets.
