Nissan 18, 5768, 4/23/2008
Is Tel Aviv Good Enough?
Is Tel Aviv good enough to be counted as doing the mitzvah?
Are you doing the mitzvah of yishuv haAretz if you can see a view like this?
Honestly, do you have to be on a historic street in Jerusalem?
Does an modern shopping center mean you're not a pioneer?
Must you shop on an old "main street?"
If you don't have a view like this, does it count as aliyah?
IMHO, I'm nobody's rabbi, of course, but as small as our HolyLand is, there's plenty of variety for all. Pick your spot, and live here in good health!
Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom! |
