Parsha Pearls: Parshas Tsav

 Eretz Yisroel is a Dangerous Place

…

Rabbi Menachem Azariah of Fano (d. 1620) quotes the above verse in Yishaya, and then explains, “The number of these people who will be called ‘holy’ is seven thousand, as we find that the word ‘left over’ is used in another place in Tanach (Melachim I 19:18) in reference to seven thousand.” (Maamar Tzevaos Hashem 3:9)

Rabbi Avraham Azulai (d. 1643) also gives this number: “Know that we have a tradition in our hands that on that day when the king Moshiach will come to Eretz Yisroel with the ingathered exiles, he will find there in Eretz Yisroel seven thousand Jews.” (Chesed L’Avraham 3:22). (It is said that whenever the Satmar Rav quoted this statement of the Chesed L’Avraham, he would tremble.)

Let us conclude with a prayer that these predictions be fulfilled in a peaceful way!
