Jews Prayed for Jerusalem for 2,000 Years. So Why Not Go?

Aliyah to Israel is something Jews prayed about for generations. We faced Jerusalem, prayed for Jerusalem, dreamed about returning to Jerusalem, and now that we actually can, somehow we've found endless reasons not to go. In this clip, I talk about one of the contradictions surrounding Jewish life in the Diaspora and moving to Israel. I'm not saying Aliyah is simple or right for every person at every moment. I'm asking a much more uncomfortable question: If returning to Israel is something we've prayed for all these years, why are we so good at explaining why we can't? #Israel #Aliyah #Jerusalem #JewishLife #Judaism _________________ FOLLOW ME IN THESE PLACES FOR UPDATES YouTube: http://youtube.com/hilzfuld Twitter - http://twitter.com/HilzFuld Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HillelFuld Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hilzfuld LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hillelfuld Web: https://hillelfuld.com/ ________________ Thank you for stopping by!
