Rebbe Nachman MiUman says the only motive for
going to the land of Israel should be spiritual: to draw closer to God. One who
goes there with this intention will certainly benefit. Merely by setting foot
in the land, he will become absorbed in and transformed by its holiness. For
this reason even one who walks four cubits in the land of Israel is assured
that he will inherit the world to come (Ketubot 111a). But if a person's motive
has no connection with devotion to God and purification from evil, how will the
land of Israel help him? It will vomit him out “as it vomited out the nation
that was before you” (Leviticus 18:28).
