R' Yisroel Elya Weintraub z"l

R' Yisroel Elya Weintraub z"l (1932-2010; Bnei Brak, Israel) wrote to someone who had moved from Eretz Yisrael to the Diaspora: “I ask of you - Eretz Yisrael is the place of [Bnei] Yisrael, and the expression that a place finds favor in the eyes of its inhabitants was said primarily about it. (Thus, every Jew is entitled to four square Amot of land in Eretz Yisrael;that is a Halachah) Therefore, Le'ma'an Hashem [literally, 'for G-d's sake'], do not speak ill about Eretz Yisrael after leaving it, while you are there [in the Diaspora] (see Tehilim 106, verse 24, and the frightful aftermath thereof)." (Igrot Da'at)
