Golfer: The phrase is in Aramaic so the grammar wasn’t wrong, but he should have said Ara D’yisrael.
Also, there is a rejected opinion in the Gemara that it’s Assur to go to Israel nowadays. Other than that, I am not aware of any actual Shittah that says that the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael is only applicable when there is a Bayis.
