"Someone once told Rav Sternbuch that before he came to live in Eretz Yisroel, he went to ask
the Rogatchover Gaon, Rav Yosef Rosen, for a brocho. The Rogatchover told him: “The sanctity of
Eretz Yisroel is eternal, but its intensity is not identical in all periods. When people observe the
Torah in Eretz Yisroel, its sanctity is great, but when sinners reside there, they desecrate its sanctity.
When the Zionists started coming to Eretz Yisroel, they damaged its sanctity to a great extent. But on
the other hand, those who learn Torah with kedushah in Eretz Yisroel and keep the mitzvos there
sanctify the country, and happy is their lot. Make sure to be part of those who sanctify Eretz Yisroel,
and do not defile it, chas vesholom.”'
