Reply To: In town vs. out of town

@ Yochie

Wow.

I can assure you that if someone doesn’t live in NY, they don’t deserve to die for that reason Chas V’Shalom!

Now I know what you will answer-

“I didn’t say that; The Gemorah and R’ Miller did”

-Actually no, I can assure you that neither was referring to a chiyuv to live in NYC. Maybe that you shouldn’t live in the middle of (really) nowhere, but R’ Gifter had no problem living in Cleveland. R’ Kamenetzky had no problem in Philly…etc. And that is my whole point. Do you think that other than NYC the rest of the world is just one or two yidden scattered here and there? Shouldn’t you have a chiyuv to live in Eretz Yisroel than because there are more Yidden there?

And at what point in the thread did you think that someone insinuated that there was no difference between in town and out of town? Really. I am curious.
