Why does Judaism describe exile as a punishment — and what happens when we become comfortable living in it? This thought-provoking message explores the Torah's vision of redemption, the dangers of spiritual complacency, and why yearning for Israel is part of the Jewish mission. Through powerful teachings from the Torah, Ramban, Rabbeinu Yonah, and the Kuzari, this talk challenges us to ask whether we've mistaken exile for home and what it means to truly long for redemption.
