Question
Why does God request Moshe to ascend Mount Nevo to see the Land?
Would it not cause him pain since he cannot enter?
Answer
Moshe’s vision infused a spiritual charge into the material aspects of the Land so that the Land can achieve higher sanctity through Am Yisrael's practical work and toil.

The Gemara in Ketubot says that anyone who lives in the Land of Israel is considered as one that has a God.
Question
Why is there more fulfillment to live in the Land of Israel than outside the Land of Israel?
Answers
1. The fulfillment of mitzvot includes a Jewish national aspect. A significant number of mitzvot cannot be fulfilled outside Eretz Yisrael. Without the Nation of Israel in its Land, there is a great void in the Divine service of Am Yisrael.
2. Kuzari presents a metaphor; planting a vineyard. Am Yisrael's ability to grow and blossom properly, and to achieve sanctity, depends on its being in Eretz Yisrael.
