Abstract:
The redemption of Israel in the Messianic era is one of the cornerstones of Jewish faith. How will this redemption, promised by the Bible, be realized? In supernatural miracles alone or naturally? Throughout the generations, the sages of Israel fiercely debated this issue, which also affected the question of migration to Israel. In the words of the prophets, redemption is described as a miraculous event, and this means that the redemption must be awaited, and that no political or military actions should be taken to bring it closer. Political considerations were incorporated into this debate in the third century and continued throughout the generations. The tension stemmed from religious, cultural and social considerations. At the center of the polemic was the sermon on the “Three Oaths” mentioned at the end of Tractate Ketubot. Dramatic developments in this debate arose in the Middle Ages and in the Modern Era. The spread of the Zionist movement and the establishment of the State of Israel exacerbated the controversy. Opposition to migration to Israel and to the establishment of the State of Israel was particularly intense in the Hasidic movement. In this article I will discuss only two major events in this debate that have not yet been sufficiently treated: “The Three Oaths” and the migration to the Land of Israel in the twelfth century and its historical motives.
