The ALIYAH SNOBS

There's this mentality, increasingly, especially as anti-Semitism is rising in America, a phenomenon we call the Aliyah snow. Does Ezra Nechemia talk to the fact that there are different centers of Jewish life, and while Israel, of course, is the ultimate destination, and it's our homeland, and it is categorically different than anywhere else, are we certain that the divine plan is for absolutely everyone? Is there some value, not as a cop out, not as an excuse, not as a like, I'm taking one for the team by staying [music] here, but is there some notion of there being multiple centers? Does that at all appear in Ezra Nechemia? So, I'm going to say something that you like you may not like the answer.
