Ruling of the Rabbinical Court on the Matter of Aliyah to the Land of Israel'

Decision of the Mount Zion Rabbinical Court from its session on 10 Cheshvan 5785 regarding Aliyah to the Land of Israel

Peace and blessings to all Jews living in the diaspora:

We, the Rabbinical Court at Mount Zion, call upon all Jews in the diaspora to urgently ascend to the Land of Israel for the following reasons:

1. We are in the final period of the ingathering of exiles.

2. The Divine Presence has departed from the diaspora and has now permanently settled in the Land of Israel, as prophesied by the Holy One, blessed be He, through the prophet Ezekiel (36:24):
"I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all the countries, and bring you into your own land."

3. The Holy One, blessed be He, has intensified antisemitism abroad in this period to prompt Jews to quickly ascend to the Land of Israel.

4. Our sages taught that a devastating world war is imminent, and during this war, the safest place for Jews to reside will be the Land of Israel:
"For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance."
In the coming war, the lands that have oppressed and harmed the Jewish people throughout history will be particularly affected, and these lands are considered “places of danger.”

5. King Solomon stated in Proverbs (22:17):
"Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and set your heart to my knowledge." Rashi explains: "Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise—to learn Torah from any sage. And set your heart to my knowledge—but if your teacher is wicked, do not emulate his actions (see Chagigah 15b)." Before the Holocaust, some rabbis advised against ascending to the Land of Israel, and six million Jews paid the price with their lives and the lives of their families.

Therefore, we call upon you: Hasten to ascend to the Land of Israel before calamity strikes. Save yourselves and your families, and join the spiritual and material abundance of the Land of Israel.

With blessings for the complete redemption, with mercy and joy, The Secretariat of the Rabbinical Court
