Make Where You Are Into The Land Of Israel

Every person was brought to where they are by G-d to do a mission. One might wonder what it would be like to be somewhere else, and may even think that they would serve G-d better if they were somewhere else. They might also be surprised to hear that they are asked to bring the Redemption for the whole world, when they are just in one little corner! The answer is that instead of thinking about what’s going on in another place, work on making where you are into the “Land of Israel” – a holy, Jewish place. Your actions where you are affect the entire world, because every place includes every other place!
