HaRav Gershon Edelstein's Message to Those Who are Afraid to Come to Eretz Yisroel
It is written, "And you shall know today and impress it upon your heart that Hashem is the A-mighty; in Heaven above and on the earth below; there is none else." This is an obligation - to believe that, "I am Hashem Who took you out of Egypt" and that everything lies in the power of Heaven, not in the course of Nature but according to merit.
Provocation against Iran has created a new cycle of hatred. Torah leaders taught us that so long as we are in exile, provocation [of the nations] is not a successful approach. We readily see that seventy years of provocation [by the State of Israel] have not brought us any surcease. We find ourselves once gain threatened heavily with survival. The status of the country is dependent upon the political goodwill of the U.S., but can this always be relied upon? Is it a guarantee? We are duty bound to remember where previous provocations led us. May Hashem preserve us that past harsh history not be repeated!
