8 with a foothold in the Holy Land. By the same token, when a Jew purchases a home in the Diaspora, he thereby ties himself almost inextricably to a foreign land. This person then becomes less likely to forsake his new 'dream home'. True "Jewish Dreamers" are those who referred to in Tehillim 126 : "When the Lord brought back the return of Zion, we were like dreamers " The stanza ends with the words: "Hashem did a great thing for us - we were glad." The Radak explains that the troubles of the Exile will seem to us like a passing dream owing to the great joy we will experience when we return to our Land. A 'Jewish Dreamer' is not one who builds a "dream home" in Monsey N.Y. extending their stay in Galut, but rather one who witnesses the return to Zion! Our ancestors once sat by the Rivers of Babylon and wept: "By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion" (Tehillim 137). The Malbim explains that even though they possessed beautiful homes and gardens they missed the spiritual benefit of being close to the Beit HaMikdash. They felt they could not sing to Hashem while "sitting in Admat Neichar" in a foreign land. Weren't the words we sang at the conclusion of the Hagadda - "L'shana Habaa Birushalayim HaB'nuya" recited in Monsey (or elsewhere in Galut)? Would it not be more appropriate to build a "dream home" in a rebuilt Jerusalem? I will conclude with a story of a former Monsey resident: When Rabbi Berel Wein was building Yeshivat Shaarei Torah (in Monsey, New York),the contractor recommended they use a special type of lumber which could last for 150 years. "No thank you", Rabbi Wein replied, "we don't want to make our stay outside of Israel too permanent." Do you? Rabbi Yerachmiel Roness, Ramat Shiloh, Beit Shemesh SHIUR SPONSORS...
