The Necessity of Eretz Yisroel for Reaching the Neshomoh’s Root

Introduction

The Tzemach Tzedek continues that the reason of this idea (The deeper reason why it is necessary to go to Eretz Yisroel in order to reach one’s Neshomoh’s root in the spiritual world of Atzilus) will all be better understood by first explaining the concept of the second day of Yom Tov outside Eretz Yisroel.

The Second Day of Yom Tov Outside Eretz Yisroel

On the second day of Yom Tov outside Eretz Yisroel the supernal abundance from the spiritual world of Atzilus descends into the state of Malchus of the lower spiritual worlds of ‘Yetzirah’ and ‘Asiyah’ which pervade the seventy spiritual ministers. It is through these ‘seventy ministers’ that the affluence descends to the B’nei Yisroel who are in the Diaspora outside Eretz Yisroel.
