Description

This shiur discusses the concept of “walking four amos in Eretz Yisrael.” Poskim debate whether or not there is a mitzvah to visit the land based on the Gemara which says that a person is granted Olam Haba for walking four amos in Eretz Yisrael. In addition to Halacha, there is much to learn in terms of mussar and Hashkafa from this statement in Chazal, which praises the person who merely walks in the land of Israel.
