“I also believe that we are on the threshold of Geula – thats why we are back in Eretz Yisrael, and Baruch hashem, we are now zoche do be able to be mekayim a mitzvah that was long gone – techeiles.
If Chabad believes were in ikvisa demeshicha, why don;t they wear techeiles and make aliya?”
Fair question. Several points.
Main point: when Chabad talks about being in ikvasa dimeshicha (as can be seen in my very first post on the thread if I’m not mistaken), we mean it in a spiritual sense, and not in a halachic sense.
Point 2: Re: techeiles- is that specifically only to be worn by moshiach times or separate question. Regardless, as sam said, the consensus amongst halachic authorities is that there has not been found the creature yet which matches ALL the descriptions in chazal about the chilazon. Thats why most of the chareidi crowd does not yet wear it although we’d love to.
Regarding moving to EY specifically, while I think the dati leumi community and others are doing amazing work strengthening the Jewish character of the government, and of settling and securing EY in Jewish and frum hands, the Rebbe’s approach was that if we all run off to eretz hakodesh, we will leave behind all the Jews facing assimilation. Our primary job right now is to bring all the Jews back to Hashem so that we will all go home together when the time is right.
