GETTING OUT OF AMERICA & MAKING ALIYAH [#15967]

October 19, 2021

QUESTION:

With the recent words of the Rav about corona being an outcome of the “50th level of tumah”, is it better now to move to Eretz Yisrael if one will still be able to have parnassah (livelihood) there and is it for sure better to live in Eretz Yisrael at a time like this when the world is falling apart? In America we are in the aftermath of extremist groups who are wreaking havoc on the country in a short amount of time, and now they want to defund the police. The danger of living here seems imminent. Currently Israel is only allowing in to the country those who have an Israeli passport. But if a person is indeed able to go to Eretz Yisrael now, would it would be wise to quickly move to Eretz Yisrael before the situation here in America becomes more severe?

ANSWER:

Generally, yes [it makes sense to move to Eretz Yisrael especially at a time like this]. Each specific case, though, needs to be carefully weighed and thought about, before making the move.
