Mitzvas Yishuv Eretz Yisroel
והורשתם את הארץ וישבתם בה במדבר ל"ג:נ"ג
רש"יexplains that the Torah tells us to conquer
and rid
the other nations of the land. By doing so we will
have the capability to settle in Eretz Yisroel.
1) According to רש"י, there is no such Mitzvah of ישוב א"י.
2) Theרמב"ןargues
and holds that וישבתם בה is
a מצוות
עשה דאורייתאthat
is applicable even בזמן הזה
3) The רמב"םdoesn't
mention the Mitzvah of ישוב א"י.
He does say one may not leave א"י
There are different opinions in the Rambam if and when
he holds there is a Mitzvah of ישוב א"י
4) The רא"שquotes
a שיטה
that during זמן הבית there
was מצוות עשה דאורייתא but today there is no Mitzvah.
5)תוספותquotes רבינו חייםwho holds that even בזמן הזה there is
a Mitzvah of ישוב א"י. However, we don't
practice this Mitzvah because there are many מצוות התלויות בארץ
that are difficult for us to observe.
6) The בית הלויexplains תוספות that the ר"חholds
the sole reason for the Mitzvah of ישוב א"י is to be
Mekayam מצוות התלויות בארץ and since we can't do it
there is no reason to practice the Mitzvah of ישוב א"י.
(Today there is no problem with מצוות התלויות
בארץ)
7) The חתם סופר
holds that the Mitzvah is applicable בזמן הזה but
only if you have a majority of Yidden living
in ארץ ישראל.
8) The אגרות משה
holds that בזמן הזה the Mitzvah is
a מצוה קיומית and
not a מצוה חיובית.
One is not
obligated to live in א"י but those who do live there
are מקיים מצות ישוב א"י.
9) Rav Yitzchak Zilberstein and many more Poskim
hold that even בזמן הזה the Mitzvah is a מצוה
חיובית.
Everyone who can is obligated to be מקיים מצות ישוב א"י.
10) Theויואל משה* holds that
מצוות ישוב א"י is only applicable
for those who are יראי שמים and doing it
100% לשם שמים.
(מאמר ישוב א"י קכ"ב*)
