The midrash mentions that Yosef merited to be buried in the Land of Israel and Moshe Rabeinu did not merit.
Question
Why was Yosef privileged to be buried in the Land of Israel and Moshe Rabeinu was not privileged?
Answer
The connection between every Jew and Eretz Yisrael is so deep and so basic that even one who was not born in the Land is indeed a (spiritual) native of Eretz Yisrael.
