"Harav Yisroel Reisman, shlita, insisted that the future of Klal Yisrael is in Eretz Yisrael, as we are currently witnessing the shift of the center of limud haTorah and psak halachah to Eretz Yisrael, a phenomenon that has not existed since the times of Rav and Shmuel, 2,000 years ago. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to support the mosdos and citizens of Eretz Yisrael financially and emotionally, and give proper respect to those who come collecting from Eretz Yisrael."
Why is the future in EY before Moshiach arrives? How does he know that Israel will even exist tomorrow? The Shema tells us we will be kicked out for not observing the commandments and 4.5 million Israelis violate the Sabbath every week and have performed millions of abortions. Reisman, who lives in NY, doesn't know what goes on in Israel.
How is Torah centered in EY? America has plenty of yeshivas, and there are yeshivas in England, Belgium, France, etc. P'sak halacha only seemed to be centered in EY when Rav Elyashiv and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach were alive.
Nearly all the money for the yeshivas in Israel comes from chutz. So how is EY central? Is it because yeshiva bochurim from America spend a year over there? Is what is giving him the illusion?
Reisman appears to be operating from the myth that the geulah has started, which is a Dati Leumi belief, not something the Chazon Ish, the Brisker Rav, Rav Aaron Kotler, Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky or any of the gadolim he claims to follow ever said. But he has been infected with Zionism.
These kind of messages get into the heads of innocent people who then feel a pressure to move to Israel when they should not in nearly every case.
