The Rav rhetorically asked but never answered the question of: what's preventing them from going beyond the Yarden? They all know the answer to that but are afraid to admit it: Money, comfort, the "good life" that's outside of Eretz Yisroel. If our brethren outside of Israel believe that they can have it both ways - living the "good life" outside of the Land and walking with ease into the Land no problem - when Moshiach ben David is revealed are sadly mistaken and if they don't wake up now before Moshiach's arrival then they'll be in for a very rude awakening of what they'll have to go through in order to arrive into the Land when he does arrive and it won't be pretty. May Hashem have mercy on them. Rfael Yaakov
BH You are not a Navi or one of the 36 Holy Tzadikim, because they never would talk to their fellow Yidden in such terms. Musar doesn’t work for most, words of kindness and goodness are your best bet. Either way the Yidden that have the Tzuchus to live in Eretz Yisroel right now are supper special and have a lot to be proud of but please don’t find fault with your brethren that are not as lucky as you are.
I agree. Pple r so quick to judge . I find in my life now Hashem really wants pple to empathize with others and if I don’t then it comes back to bite me in a similar situation . It seems to me Hashem doesn’t care so much about doing mitzvos as He cares about feeling love for others and being united with pple in their simcha or troubles. Malky
There's nothing wrong with wanting to aim for comfort. (Emphasis on comfort vs. luxury. In other words, your personal comfort-zone. That varies from person to person). Even the Torah says that people should seek to move to a more tolerable situation than they had previously, rather than the other way around. Which makes sense.
BH True, but with words of comfort, goodness and kindness. If you have ever listened to great Rebbes or holy Tzadkim, they treat people with kindness and speak with kindness. Heaven forbid that these individuals who taunt their brethren with harsh words would be on the opposite side, they would understand very quickly what other are going through. Be kind to others please!

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

DeletePlease pray for all of us who pray to make Aliyah and have not been able to do so. For some, it is not money or comfort that prevents us at all. KG
