When exposed to the teachings of Rav Kook or religious-Zionism in general, we often wonder, why do they speak so much about Eretz Yisrael? Ok, it's mentioned here and there in the sources, but why do they make such a big deal about Aliya? Many claim, "We managed 2,000 years without Eretz Yisrael, so what's the matter with being a religious Jew in America?" This she'ur summarizes the question in 3 concise points, including what chazal mean when they say in the Sifre and Tosefta: "Living in Eretz Yisrael is equated with the rest of the mitzvot combined".
