Living in Eretz Yisroel

To love Hashem your G-d, to listen to His voice and to attach yourself to Him, for He is your life and the length of you days, to live on the land that Hashem had sworn to your forefathers...[Devorim 30:20] The mitzva of living in Eretz Yisroel is listed in this verse along with the ahavas Hashem, yiras Shamayim and deveikus. Commenting on this verse, the Ohr HaChaim writes: “כי ישיבת הארץ היא מצוה כוללת כל התורה” “Living in Eretz Yisroel is a mitzva that includes in it the entire Torah.”
