    “As for the gedolim who never lived here, they have a different cheshbon. because of their communal duties.“

    Avi,

    So they’re making themselves lose out for a bunch of רשעים that don’t want to move? Better yet have them pasken to their community that they should move

    And your reply to uknow implies that everyone in chutz l’arertz is rich, and can make it in Israel

    You’re delusional (I guess that’s why all the meshulachim go there, right?)

    Uknow,

    Correct,
    I’m not saying that one shouldn’t live in Israel

    I’m saying the opposite!

    Posters comment whenever there is an antisemitic attack “move to Israel!” Making it like it’s the safest place which isn’t exactly true and there are countless other reasons why a person has to stay in חוץ לארץ which you agree to!

    Gut voch,

    I’ll answer your last part first

    “Also, can you explain your בלעם line?
    Not sure I was זוכה to understand”

    Billam said he was יודע דעת עליון (he knew what Hashem was thinking) so I don’t know what is correct

    And this is how I’m answering your first question

    All I know is what my rebbe tells me and both my Rosh hayeshiva and the Rav of my shul left eretz yisrael and live in the states so it doesn’t seem like there’s a חיוב to move to Israel, and just like there are countless gedolim that live in the states

    “However, I do believe that ה׳ wants us to be in א״י.”

    Some people might feel that Hashem wants us to live outside of Eretz Yisrael until משיח comes

    Personally though my name isn’t בלעם and I don’t think your name is either

    Avi,

    Even if you are correct that doesn’t mean that a Jew will be safe from antisemitism if he moves to Israel any more than if he moves to kiryas Yoel

    I’m trying to say there’s no cure for antisemitism until moshiach comes (even if we all moved to Israel)

    Uknow,

    What you’re saying makes sense, however my main beef is when people make it sound like Israel is a utopian place where there is no שנאה which isn’t true

    Therefore moving to Israel might not help save oneself from persecution

    Avi,

    That might be how you were taught

    I was taught that klal yisrael didn’t want to go in with a neis which was why they sent spies and once Moshe told them that Hashem wasn’t helping them that’s when they decided to fight (that’s why they said the inhabitants were stronger than them

    “We are still atoning for cheit hamiraglim. And if Klal Yisroel dragged their heels when Moshe Rabbeinu attempted to lead them in, the general absence of encouragement by the majority of Torah-Jewry leaders does not bold well for us making the move”

    Dbrim,

    If that was the חטא then why when they said they sinned and decided to go in that wasn’t a תשובה

    Obviously that wasn’t the חטא

    “I think everyone understands that the split of the 10 Tribes happened waaaay before Jews were categorized as A or S. I think the OP is just trying rile me up.”

    That’s right I was doing it to rile you up because of all your stupid “sfardim are better than ashkenazim” posts and it did the desired effect

    I really don’t understand why people have to find a need to differentiate between different segments of yiddishkeit it brings to mind the marvelous middos machine’s “ahavas chinam” song

    Thanks to all who replied

    Milhouse,

    I’m sorry I’m not being clear

    You stated

    “No, because the “10 shevatim” are a myth. The gemara states as a matter of halacha that they don’t exist, and gives only three possibilities for what happened to them:

    (1) Their exile only lasted a decade or two, until Yirmiyahu went to Chalach and Chavor and brought them back. If this is so, then most of us are probably descended from one or another of them.

    (2) The first generation that was exiled had no children and died out. The only surviving members of those shevatim were those who were living in Yehuda at the time, or who found refuge there, and thus never went into exile with the rest of their tribes. Some of us are descended from them.

    (3) The Sanhedrin, using the power the Torah gave it, declared them to be goyim. They can never come back. Again, the only Jewish members of those tribes are the descendants of those who never went into exile.“

    I never said they were lost I said that they’re from them (the passuk says Ephraim which connotation the 10 tribes, Ephraim was their leader)

    So what I assume you meant is that everyone married into everyone and there’s no “yehuda” or “Ephraim”

    So I asked what does the passuk mean when it says yehuda and Ephraim

    Interesting so this “chashuva Rav” is arguing on the passuk because the passuk explicitly states jealousy (and believe me Ashkenazim aren’t jealous of sfardim it actually seems like the opposite based on your threads)

    “According to religious Zionists, galus is definitely not over, even for those living in Israel. We believe that the State of Israel is part of the geulah, but it’s not complete.“

    So if that’s true that brings me back to my original question

    “This is what golis is all about. You made your השתדלות now hashem wants you to leave.
    Pack your bags and leave while you still can. בטל רצונך מפני רצונו”

    Maybe I should say that about the people who don’t want to be a part of the draft

    “Galut (exile) is the situation of living outside of one’s land. “

    So according to avi k גלות יון wasn’t galus and yidden have been Israel for thousands of years so I guess thereabouts galus edom (just btw during פרס ומדי there wasn’t 70 years of galus for those people that went back during דריוש the first
