In the book the Holy Rav talks about the mitzvah of Yesheuv Eretz Israel. This book made a big impact on me. When I first came to Israel in 2006, I was astounded by its holiness and beauty. I felt like I was home with my Jewish brethren. I instantly fell in love with the land and its people. When I had the merit to visit the land again in 2009 this feeling intensified. When I walked in the streets I had a smile on my face because I knew that whoever walks four cubits in the land of Israel merits the world to come. When I read the book Eim Habanim Semeichah the yearning for the land of Israel increased 10 fold. I also read a booklet on the Parsha lech lecha on Kumah.org, which talk about this very mitzvah, which is the foundation of every mitzvoth in the Torah. Since Hashem open my eyes. I cannot be comfortable living where I am. I am very glad someone is finally writing about this. I would advice every reader of this blog to read the book Eim Habainim Semeichah. Also kumah.org has a free book which is downloadable for everyone. http://www.kumah.org/LechLecha/Lech_Lecha.html<br /><br />Thank you <br />Semcha Ben Yosef (Alex Isakov)Aleksandrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524132359240676348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-5404342949006344792011-01-17T16:05:41.296+02:002011-01-17T16:05:41.296+02:00Thank you for writing Yakov.

It's not easy to be an immigrant anywhere, but at least in Eretz Yisrael you know you are fulfilling the will of your Creator and that makes it easier.Devorah Chayahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625277197970920616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-31673572354915426072011-01-17T14:46:31.627+02:002011-01-17T14:46:31.627+02:00Thank you, we just made Aliyah the day after Yom K...Thank you, we just made Aliyah the day after Yom Kippur, 4 months ago.<br />We are now living in Jerusalem, Yes,Ulpan is not easy for someone in their 50s and the culture shock is hard, but slowly we are adjusting.<br />Thank you for telling the truth.<br />Yakov ButterfieldYakov Butterfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022873115960031011noreply@blogger.com
