Aliyah To Israel
Troubled by the threat to the survival of Israel in the October 1973 Yom Kippur War, in early 1974 he made aliyah (immigrated) to Israel. This aliyah to Israel also became a process of teshuva or return to traditional Jewish religious practice. In this he was inspired by Rabbis Eliyahu Barness and Chaim Pearl, and in a later phase by the teacher of Hasidism, David Herzberg.

Famous quotes containing the word israel:
“For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion: whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him. Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.”
