Avi k,
Thanks for the list! Good stuff!
CA,
Isnt there is a difference between a מצוה and a חיוב.
While there may be a מצוה if ישוב הארץ, it doesn’t make it a chiyuv.
What I was saying is that because it’s brought down as a מצוה by the רמב״ן and is certainly of religious value according to the רמב״ם I would assume that is ideally what ה׳ would want someone to do. (ה׳ wants people to do the מצות….)
(If it’s a proper עשה and a person CAN do it and they choose not to —-may fall under the category of ביטול עשה).
(There are plenty of people that can’t live in א״י for many reasons ie. financially….)
