Jewishfeminist, I was responding to a post that some Sarah poster made about staying in America right in her home that she bought with her hard earned money.
All I am saying is that as Jews, even if we don’t currently live in Israel (I happen to live there) we should have a desire to one day move there. To have the attitude, “I am staying right here where I planted myself in MY country of America” can be disastrous.
I am not saying Obama will cause us to flee by bringing terror upon the Jews. Who knows what will be?! I am just saying, it’s a matter of attitude and perspective. And that is that we should all want to come here. Period.
Queen of Persia : You said you asked your Rav years ago about getting life insurance. Maybe you should ask again, cuz it could be his opinion has changed after all these years. My father was killed at a young age in a car accident just a few days after applying for life insurance. Who in the heck would’ve thought that such a thing could happen to a young man with a beautiful family? I do not wish such a thing upon anyone, but please don’t try to imply to anyone not that one might not need life insurance.
It’s just foolish
About Obama and fleeing the country: Anyone who says they will stay in America with no worries, etc. kind of makes me worried and upset for hearing such a hashkafa (or lack of).
Even if we can’t live in Eretz Yisrael just yet, at least we should have some sort of desire or plan to move there sometime in the future.
Someone who says they bought their home in America with their hard earned money and plan on staying there is really digging their own grave. I’m sorry to be so blunt, and I sure hope there isn’t gonna be a second Holocaust, but I wish to say the following.
In Germany, there were MANY Jews who owned beautiful comfortable homes which they bought with their hard earned money. Within just a few years they were dragged from these homes to be taken to their deaths. These homes were confiscated by the Germans or anyone wishing to take a Jews home without any hard earned money. Only Hashem can keep us secure.
