You don’t need to run off to Tarshish to find Hashem! Why aren’t we getting the message?! Nearly every tragedy and accident happened on a vacation!
Hashem can be found in your own heart. You don’t need to travel to find him. Especially traveling away from Eretz Yisrael – which is a terrible sin.
Maybe Rav Nachman has had a change of heart and is now telling his Chasdim, “stay home next year with your family and keep me in mind in your teffilos from a distance”
