B’Avur Zeh osoh H’ Li Btzeisi Mimitzrayim. Li velo Lo. Ilu Hoyo Shom Lo Hoyo Nig’ol.
I daven that you will lift the veil from your eyes, see the rebirth of Torah in a place that was bereft of it; the rebirth of nationhood, however imperfect, that we were forced to abandon for almost 2000 years but which is an integral part of who we are; that you will abandon the conceit that your spiritual destruction is more important to a Zionist than his own happiness and fulfillment; and that your children will value achdus and hakoras hatov and ahavas chinom more than you do.
And if not, well, you are choosing to separate yourself from Am Yisroel. You can stay in Mitzrayim. But we love you and we will miss you.
