This is the first time that this has happened since the destruction of the 1st Beit Hamikdash."<br /><br />NOT TRUE! America was only the world's biggest Jewish community for about sixty years - from the end of the holocaust until now.<br /><br />I advise you edit your blog, correcting the text to read: "Israel surpassed the US as the World’s biggest Jewish community. This is the first time since the destruction of the 1st Beit Hamikdash that Israel's Jewish community has been the biggest in the world."<br /><br />Other than that, an excellent point - it's an incredible chutzpa that people remain in chutz la'aretz given the lengths people in previous generations went to in order to live in the Holy Land.Elanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253989887000030413noreply@blogger.com
