Reply To: Seminary vs Sherut Leumi

It is abundantly clear from chazal that it is appropriate to love eretz yisroel. But at least you should concede that there is no intrinsic value that says we should “hate” eretz yisroel.

also: Simply speaking, living in E”Y is for those whose avodas Hashem will be best there.

Yeah, also that there’s a mitzva to…and all that. Is shaking a lulav for those whose avodas Hashem will be bettered by it?
