Look at the rooms they sit in as they promote life in Israel and aliyah while living in North America:
They sit in offices. I don't have an office. I don't even have a den. I pack what books I can into my tiny all-purpose room that serves as a dining room and living room. Really it's a dining room table and couch with no room to spare.
Here's the house of a rabbi in New Jersey who called all the men into a special meeting to promote aliyah. He still lives in the house, 15 years later:
Now ain't that swell. He has a car too. I can't afford a car. They are twice the price here Israel and salaries are 1/4 of that of the USA or less.
See this house:
This is owned by a guy who pushed aliyah on everyone he met. He said even gadolim had to do teshuvah for not moving to Israel. "Even Moshe Feinstein?" I asked. "Yes," even him.
A few months after that conversation he had this big house built in good old chutzeh l'aretz. He still lives there. This was all a decade ago.
Can we say HYPOCRITES?
