The Ingathering of the Exiles

Vayak'hel
5784
English

We see in recent years how the verse “Moshe gathered... the Jews” is occurring literally -- the ingathering of the exiles of Jews from all over the world, who are returning to the Holy Land. The current number of Jews ascending to the Land of Israel is incomparably greater than that of previous generations.”

(From a talk of the Rebbe, Shabbat Vayakhel, 5752-1992)
