Anti-Zionists are kind of right 🇮🇱

The Torah was given in the desert — no man's land. The message? Torah can be lived anywhere. You carry it with you. That part, they got right.

But then there's this: *Ki miTziyon teitzei Torah* — a Torah from Zion shall come forth, and the word of God from Jerusalem.

Sinai or Jerusalem? Both.

We survived exile because, as Heinrich Heine wrote, the Torah is the portable homeland of the Jew. But Sinai was never the destination. Leave Egypt. Cross the desert. Receive the Torah. Land in Eretz Yisrael.

The Neviim tell us nations will one day stream to Yerushalayim, drawn to the Devar Hashem. The Torah of the desert sustains us in exile — but the Torah of the Beit HaMikdash can only come from Jerusalem.

Learn the Torah of Sinai. And learn the Torah of Eretz Yisrael alongside it. That's what makes it whole.
