State of Israel Or Egypt

Rav Shlomo Aviner was asked whether the miracle of the Ten Plagues and the exodus from Egypt, was a greater miracle than the establishment of the State of Israel.

He answered that each was greater in its own way. However, there are a few verses in the Book of Jeremiah , Chapter 16:14, 15, that might imply that the miracle of the State of Israel is greater.

The prophet predicts that days will be coming, when no longer will the Jewish people praise Hashem for taking us out of Egypt. They will praise Hashem instead for taking His people from the North and from all of the lands that they lived in the Exile. And they will all be returned to their homeland.

These verses imply that we are living in miraculous times. Aside from establishing a Jewish State, we see the ingathering of Jews from the four corners of the earth. Our history is unmatched by any nation on earth.

Pesach is the time when we are meant to give gratitude to Hashem for His abundant kindness and his protection of His people. We must never minimize these great gifts that we are witnessing before our eyes. Hashem has never forsaken His people, and all of His promises are being fulfilled.
