“the spiritual dangers most definitely did not exceed the physical benefit.”

I will take a Godol’s idea of when a spiritual danger exceeds a physical benefit any day over yours. Regardless of the circumstances, in your humble opinion.

Even taking into account what I said above, this point of yours was the case in relatively few cases.

“few who did have the opportunity”

And like I keep pointing out, indeed it was very very few who even ever had this opportunity. It surely was never available in any large numbers, no matter the definition.

And it was never even desired amongst the populace (to emigrate) in large numbers. So lets quit slandering Rabbonim ZT’L with false implications if not claims.
