Title: The explanation is simple- but you won`t like it Name: Dani City: Tel Aviv State:
And just looking at what TYPE of oleh/olah comes with Nefesh B`Nefesh should make it even clearer: The religious continue to come from the West- because ultimately, our connection to our land is because of the Torah. Secular Zionism, a temporary phenomenon because it isn`t Torah-based, is dead here. Why should it be alive elsewhere? The Jews in chu"l continue to intermarry and lose their Jewish identity just like the non-religious Jews here continue tolose THEIR Jewish identity. In the long run, there are only 2 choices for the Jews; Jew, which means religious and in Israel, or non-Jew, assimilation and intermarriage.
