{{heb|מה פתאום קורא אברהם לחרן, המקום אשר ה&amp;#039; ציווה אותו לעזוב, &amp;quot;ארצי&amp;quot;?  הלא הוא גר שנים רבות מחוצה לה: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;וַיֵּשֶׁב אַבְרָהָם, בִּבְאֵר שָׁבַע&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0122.htm#19|בראשית כב:יט}}! }}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{heb|בעת ההיא ה&amp;#039; ציווה אותו &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;לֶךְ-לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0112.htm#1|בראשית יב:א}}.  ברור לכולם שאז נחשב לו כ&amp;quot;ארצו&amp;quot;.  ולמרות כל השנים שישב בארץ, עדיין לא חשב עליה כארצו.  אולי יש הסבר פשוט: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;וַיֵּרָא ה&amp;#039;, אֶל-אַבְרָם, וַיֹּאמֶר, לְזַרְעֲךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת-הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0112.htm#7|בראשית יב:ז}} -- לזרעך כן, אבל לך לא.  וכל השנים שישב אברהם בארץ כנען ידע שאינו אלא &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;גֵּר-וְתוֹשָׁב אָנֹכִי, עִמָּכֶם&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0123.htm#4|בראשית כג:ד}} -- הוא חשב על עצמו כגר תושב ולא כאזרח הארץ.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{heb|בזמננו ישנה תופעה דומה. יש מי שעולה לארץ ישראל, אבל נשאר שקוע באופן החיים וצורת המחשבה של המקום ממנו יצא.  כמו שנאמר, &amp;quot;קל יותר להוציא את ישראל מהגלות מלהוציא את הגלות מישראל&amp;quot;.  כל עוד הם משתוקקים לאופן החיים של גלות, ועדיין כלואים בפרספקטיבה שלה, אין להם אפשרות להיכנס ממש לאזרחות הארץ, אלא נשארים כגרים וכתושבים בה.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{heb|אבל אנו זרעו של אברהם, ואלינו ה&amp;#039; יתברך הבטיח את הארץ הזאת שאבינו אברים ע&amp;quot;ה החל לרכוש ב&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת שֶׁקֶל כֶּסֶף, עֹבֵר לַסֹּחֵר&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0123.htm#16|בראשית כג:טז}}.  עלינו להמשיך בירושתה וישובה, ולעזוב את דרכי החיים שסחבנו אליה מקצוות תבל.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{english}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{pasuq|But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son, even for Isaac.&amp;#039;|p/pt/pt0124.htm#4|Gen 24:4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What possesses Abraham to call Haran, the place God commanded him to leave, &amp;quot;my country&amp;quot;?  After all, he did indeed live outside it for many years: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0122.htm#19|Gen 22:19}}!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time, God commanded him &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;get thee out of thy country&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0112.htm#1|Gen 12:1}}.  It is clear to all that it was then still considered &amp;quot;his country&amp;quot;.  But despite all the years he dwelt in the Land, he still did not think of it as his country.  Perhaps there is a simple explanation: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said: &amp;#039;Unto thy seed will I give this land&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0112.htm#7|Gen 12:7}} -- I will give it to your offspring, but not to you.  All those years Abraham lived in the land of Canaan, he knew that he was no more than &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a stranger and a sojourner with you&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0123.htm#4|Gen 23:4}} -- he considered himself a resident alien and not a citizen of the land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In our own time there is a similar phenomenon.  There are those who make &amp;#039;&amp;#039;aliyah&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to the Land of Israel, but remain deep in the lifestyle and world-view of the place from which they came.  As it was said, &amp;quot;it is easier to take the Jew out of the Exile than to take the Exile out of the Jew&amp;quot;.  So long as they yearn for the lifestyle of the Exile, and are still imprisoned in its perspectives, they haven&amp;#039;t the opportunity to truly become citizens of the Land -- they rather remain resident aliens in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But we are the offspring of Abraham, to whom God may He be blessed promised this Land, which our father Abraham of blessed memory began to purchase with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0123.htm#16|Gen 23:16}}.  It is upon us to continue to inherit and settle the Land, and to abandon the lifestyles which we dragged here with us from the ends of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;
