During the previous century, the Orthodox community fought many battles in order to preserve authentic Judaism. Battles were fought for Shabbat, kashrut, Torah study and Jewish education with tremendous sacrifice and devotion, and the success of these battles enables us today to take these matters for granted. They may now be observed with relative ease because of the willingness of Jews to sacrifice things that were important to them at the time - material and financial well-being, and social acceptance - in the service of God and to ensure the integrity of the Jewish nation.
Sacrifice is fundamental to our service of God, and each generation must identify its unique challenges, and be willing to sacrifice to stand up to those challenges. It appears that one of the few difficult things left for Jews living in comfort and freedom is enhancing and actualizing their connection with Eretz Israel. There have always been extenuating circumstances exempting Jews from fulfillment of the mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Israel. But with so few areas of Jewish observance that require true sacrifice today, increased focus on finding ways to fulfill this mitzvah is an authentic way to sacrifice something of ourselves in the service of God.

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.
