Chapter 9
The Immigrants Bring About the Return of the Divine Presence
None of the above will make an impression upon those whose heart is closed. Our words are rather intended to uncover the eyes and awaken the hearts of those who truly fear the word of G-d, but who remain afar, outside the Land, just because there are residents of the Land who do not keep the Torah. But they should know that what we have said indicates that the Land's holiness increases as more and more G-d-fearing people come here. On the contrary: It is a holy obligation upon them to ascend to Eretz Yisrael under such conditions, because it causes G-d pleasure, and with their return to the Land, the Divine Presence returns with them. There is nothing more important before G-d than this, as is written in the Tikkunim (Tikun 18) and in the Tikkunim of the Zohar Chadash (page 112a): "No gift is more precious to G-d than the gift of bringing the Divine Presence before G-d."
