    The tragic murder of the Chabad shliach in UAE should be seen as a wake up sign to those who will go to unknown lands all in the name of making money. This tragedy has taught what the consequences for being obsessed with business deals and more millions of dollars can result in. This tragedy should not be overlooked by frum people.

    Lebanon: This was not one in a million. If a Jew moved to Jordan or Egypt would you be shocked if C”V something bad happened?

    Dubai is not Egypt. Not that I am advocating vacationing there, and the shaliach there was on a holy mission.

    AAQ: Would you suggest a holy mission to appoint a Shliach in both Cairo and Amman?

    We can establish exciting Jewish communities in these Arab cities, as they have peace agreements with the State of Israel.

    R Schach writes that Arab hate towards arriving Zionists was min hashamayim. Otherwise, thy would have ended up going to Universities of Cairo and Beirut and intermarried. If this were to happen, I am pretty sure Chabad would have a shaliach on Cairo campus. As far as I know, Dubai was so far safe. I did not really follow it closely or contemplated vacationing there, but I heard that lots of Israelis were excited to go there, given lack of other local options.

    But referring back to R Schach, maybe further peace agreements are contingent on Israelis becoming more observant. Maybe next round of Abraham accords should condition tourist visas on learning Mishna.
