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."

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
