Rashi explains that Hashem tells Yitzchak "ein chutza la’aretz kedai lecha", it doesn't befit you to be in chutz la’aretz. It isn't "kedai" - worthwhile, fitting, proper, or appropriate for you. While it is true that Yitzchak enjoyed a special status after the Akeida, knowing how to choose what is "kedai" is a lesson that must be learned by every observant Jew. It is true that there may be many reasons - economic, professional, and familial, to live outside of Israel. But Hashem tells Yitzchak, and through him He tells all of us, that any decision on this matter must be based not on what is most comfortable, but on what is really "kedai."

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
