Torah Study and Good Deeds in the Land of Israel


From here we see that those pious people who fear the word of G-d and are careful in the performance of His commandments, must understand that learning Torah outside the Land strengthens our enemies and those who wish us harm. On the other hand, learning Torah here in the Land of Israel strengthens the forces of sanctity and the Divine Presence, along the lines of the secret meaning of the verse Give strength to G-d. 108


And the Zohar 109 writes as follows:

The letters of Moshe - mem, shin, heh - became mixed-up by the Mixed Multitude and became the letters of desolation - shin, mem, heh - alluding to the fact that the Mixed Multitude will be destroyed when the Redeemer arrives. Furthermore, the words I will return there [shamah, again the letters shin, mem, heh] mean that in the future, Moshe will return to the Mixed Multitude in the final Exile in order to find and retrieve those who have sparks of holiness, and he will walk among them in the desolation of Exile, as his name changes from Moshe (mem, shin, heh) to Desolation (shin, mem, heh).


The above can be understood in light of the point that we quoted from the work Zimrat Haaretz, that the abundance of prayers outside the Land are taken by the evil ministers and they become a form of "desolation."  However, in the Land of Israel, the prayers are a form of a prayer for Moshe, the man of G-d, 110 because they can arise to the level of atzilut that is called Moshe; understand this.
