I am finally IY’H going on my solidarity trip to Israel this week, so will finally be commencing “veSen Tal uMotor” as soon as I am Zoche to set foot on Admas Kodesh BE’H later this week.
I am well cognizant of what a great Zechus it is to be Zoche to be able to set foot into Eretz Yisroel, just thinking back of how Moshe Rabbeinu prayed 515 requesting/imploring haShem to enter Eretz Yisroel, and sadly was denied this privilege.
In more contemporary times, just thinking about Jonathan Pollard who shall be coming out of jail in 13 days time, and yet shall be denied opportunity of going to Israel, for another 5 years.
