Vochindik: You quote the Rambam (Igeres Teiman) and you quote a false-repeat-false translation. The actual words are quite different and nowhere does it say in the igeres (as you maintain) that ” He warned the jewish people not to do this”. I don’t know your source but mine has a completely different version- and it clearly says that the possuk from shlomo hamelech a’h is “bederech moshol” (as an example) and it also clearly says that HKBH will indeed bring us back from the golus and gather us from all over the world to bring us back to “levaker beheicholo”- to dwell in His palace. And- B’H, so it is !
