3. Can You Buy a House in Israel on Shabbat?
Manage episode 496763753 series 3679927
Rav Shlomo Katz introduces the powerful teachings of Rav Tzvi Yehuda Kook zt”l, who helped shape modern halachic understanding of settling the land of Israel. We explore a fascinating halacha: Chazal allowed certain Shabbat laws to be pushed aside in order to buy land in Eretz Yisrael from non-Jews. Why? Because the mitzvah of Yishuv Ha’aretz is so great, it can outweigh even serious halachic restrictions. This shiur opens our eyes to how big this mitzvah truly is, and how deeply it must live in our hearts.
