In last week’s Parsha, Vayelech 31:2, Moshe said to the Bnai Yisroel, “I can no longer come and go, and G-d has told me that I am not to cross over the Yarden.” Rashi explained that Moshe was physically capable of coming and going as well as crossing over the Yarden. When it starts to grow, then “does not equal aliyah” starts to become less so, and when it grows so much that we start to lose our mortgaged homes, good jobs, etc., (God forbid), then “does not equal aliyah” transforms into “must make aliyah.” The question a Jew has to ask themselves then is, how much Anti-Semitism is too much Anti-Semitism? Now that I have been granted the opportunity of loving G-d with my very life, should I not do so with joy and exultation?” As a nation that has survived millennia of persecution and suffering, we have a fascination with how our heroes have died and how one should die.

Therefore, a nation that doesn’t have this quality is incapable of joining Klal Yisrael since this is the antithesis of what we stand for (Da’as Torah, Beiurim 23:40).In fact, Chazal teach that we are called Yehudim, from the word hodaah, to thank, because gratitude is so deeply connected to our identity (Midrash Shir HaShirim Zuta 1:1). He explained that Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rav Elyashiv referred to the United States as a” Malchus Shel Chesed, a kingdom of kindness.” It is a place where Jews were able to seek refuge from the horrors of E
