Rav Yitzchak Berkowitz - Aish HaTorah

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Aish HaTorah’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

The calling is for Kali to come home, for communities to come. If American jewelry, if full American jewelry comes here, there'll be a different flavored Yiddish kite in Eric. I understand there's a lot of polarization in America today as wealth. But still, you know, in the west there's this beautiful balance of being able to be a member of society in in every way in in every way and and connected to Hashem and Hashem. I I I think that if communities would start moving here, things would really change drastically. In terms of individuals, things have changed as well. There are communities today of Anglo Anglo-Israeli kids who have a new identity. It used to be that an American that moved here who did not integrate that moved here who did not integrate totally, an American kid was left without an identity. And that's why so many failed. That's no longer the situation because there are places to go where they have a new identity. So much of Ramat Chenes today for example they've created a new culture and these are kids that are they're Israeli Americans American Israelis whatever you want to whatever you want to call them and they're not lost they're not lost they're not lost they're not lost they're not confused they have a very clear identity you know integration is a wonderful goal but for westerners it doesn't work so well necessarily very much because of the polar ization and so much of the culture that so many of you really really find alien. I want to say a few words about Earth's soul though about Earth's soul alto together aside from all the the the of course this is home there's no question this is home
