Description

How does the religious zionist camp address the issue of the ג' שבועות, which seem to prohibit עלייה to ארץ ישראל? What is the nature of the issur introduced by the ג' שבועות? Why would moving to Israel be an issue? Are the ג' שבועות halachicly binding? What is the impact of excessive persecution of Jews throughout Jewish History on the ג' שבועות?
