Description

Does the mitzvah of settling in E"Y apply in our time? Why did the Rambam omit this Mitzvah in his count of the 613? Is this Mitzvah a Chovat Yachid or a Chovat Tzibbur? Is it a Chovat Gavra or a Chovat Chevtzah? Is it a Hechsher Mitzvah or a Mitzvah Bifnei Atzma? What is the purpose of the Mitzvah and does the answer to that question have any practical implications? Under what circumstances is one alleviated from this Mitzvah? In this shiur we will address these and other isues relevant to the Mitzvah of Yishuv E"Y.
