"that the focus of RZ is on living in Israel, and not on further fulfillment of mitzvos"<BR/><BR/>How does one see that from the play/posting that I wrote about?<BR/><BR/>It includes Chessed, Geula, Mesirat nefesh for Am Yisrael, appreciating Shabbat and more.<BR/><BR/>This blog has focused on dozens of mitzvot and issues, as does RZ. In fact, my kids in Bnei Akiva have very little to do with focus on Eretz Yisrael, but spend the majority of their time involved in other mitzvot including chessed and chinuch.<BR/><BR/>The highlighted aspect of this blog and focus on Eretz Yisrael is because so many do not understand that living here (according to some) is a mitzva kolelet; an all encompassing mitzva.<BR/><BR/>While perhaps you (and others reading this blog) are aware of that -- so many are not.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-21496022123364463312008-07-01T08:35:00.000+03:002008-07-01T08:35:00.000+03:00the rebbetzins husband understands me correctly. ...the rebbetzins husband understands me correctly. <BR/>and for the record, i live in jerusalem, al quds.<BR/><BR/>--anon 8:50Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-81886786525144136842008-07-01T04:25:00.000+03:002008-07-01T04:25:00.000+03:00Jameel-I agree with you %1,000,000 that the essenc...Jameel-<BR/>I agree with you %1,000,000 that the essence and present and future of Jewish life and of Torah is in Israel. To me, the diaspora Jewish community is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the future of Judaism.

Nothing about mesoras hamitzvos beyond just living in Israel? <BR/><BR/>Tell me, when you daven shmona esreh - why is your focus on Yerushalayim and not Bavel or Monsey? The mesora of mitzvot in chutz laaretz? There is no such thing -- the mitzvot are supposed to be done HERE. The Amoraim who tried to start doing Kiddush HaChodesh in Bavel were severely chastized for doing so.<BR/><BR/>Can you keep Shmitta in Chutz Laaretz? Peah? Leket? Trumot? Massrot? Aliya LaRegel? Omer? Mitzvat Bikkurim? Challa (lechatchila)?<BR/><BR/>To encourage a focus on mesorat hamitzvot in chutz laaretz is to spit at the Torah and the mesorah of ותחזנה ענינו בשובך לציוןJameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-10217210337753039622008-06-30T08:50:00.000+03:002008-06-30T08:50:00.000+03:00very beautiful, and i hope my kids have a meaningf...very beautiful, and i hope my kids have a meaningful graduation as well. <BR/><BR/>but this whole event also highlights the problem of rz the problem which muqata has attempted to deny: the focus of rz exclusively on israel -- what about jewish prisoners elsewhere? -- is readily apparent from this whole presentation. nothing about mesoras hamitzvos beyond just living in israel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-77932014700465887112008-06-29T13:48:00.000+03:002008-06-29T13:48:00.000+03:00mazel tov- it sounds like it was very beautiful.
