Yichus: Spiritual contributions are at least as necessary and beneficial for a nation-state (and is actually a greater benefit than material support.) Without the spiritual necessary components they will turn into a failed state much quicker than if they are lacking some material necessities. And the fact is currently the nation-state of Israel is more in need of additional spiritual benefits than material benefits. We should be seeking to add more spirituality among the populace; the material needs are sufficiently being covered and taken care of as is. They are not in need of more soldiers than they currently have; they are in need of additional Torah scholars.
