All Jews Must Come Home to Israel
Most of us recognize the word Sanhedrin and typically we see it in our Bible when we see the word Pharisee. They were both ruling bodies for Jews in Israel and had a serious problem with Jesus claiming to be Messiah. Well they are still around and every year they tell the Jews of the world to come back to Israel. But this year, they really mean it! Read on
************************
The nascent Sanhedrin in Jerusalem has made an official ruling, calling on Jews outside of Israel to come home.
“We are the beis din (rabbinic court) of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and we have poskened (officially ruled) that all Jews around the world have an obligation and chiyuv (religious requirement) right now to do whatever is in your power, to come to Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel), and that is the mitzvah of Torah (Biblical requirement). And that is the mitzvah of today, especially because of what’s happening around the world and the dangers that all the Jews are in around the world. It’s necessary now more than ever to come to Eretz Yisrael, and we as a beis din have poskened that all the Jews have to come as soon as they can back to eretz Yisrael.”
The Sanhedrin’s ruling was intended for Jews worldwide, so it was recorded in English, Hebrew, Yiddish, French, and Spanish.
Wander explained that the Sanhedrin makes this announcement every year, but this year, it is of special significance and is garnering more attention than in the past.
“It has to do with what’s happening worldwide,” Wander explained. “Jews worldwide are feeling pressure and are more open to the message. Antisemitism is taking on dimensions and forms that have not been seen since before the Holocaust.”
“My concern is that with the Trump victory, many Jews that are in North America, the majority of Jews, perhaps in the world, are feeling safer,” Wander said. “They are a lot more comfortable with not coming to Israel. I always said that Kamala Harris was the Aliyah candidate. Antisemitism has exploded in recent years, and the Biden administration has done nothing to stop this rising tide. Open antisemitism is accepted in the Democratic party.”
“But even with all this antisemitism, Jews stay there,” Wander said. “The worst exile is the one you don’t realize you’re in.”
