Honorific inflation is one thing. Using this empty expression for the Meshech Chochma or Chafetz Chaim, fine. But living in the land of Israel under Jewish autonomy today this is yet another cognitive step away from the Temple.
Pesachim 113a:
אמר ליה רב לרב כהנא הפוך בנבילתא ולא תיפוך במילי פשוט נבילתא בשוקא ושקיל אגרא ולא תימא כהנא אנא וגברא רבא אנא וסניא בי מלתא…
Unless they mean we should be donating money, גדלהו משל אחיו…

“Rav AvigdorMiller – His Life And His Revolution” by Rabbi Yaakov Y. Hamburger (p. 190):
Rabbi Miller encouraged his talmidim to learn mussar loudly and enthusiastically, as was the accepted practice in the European yeshivos. Once, when it was too quiet during mussarseder, he joked, “We’re now observing fifteen minutes of silence in honor of the late Reb Yisrael Salanter.”
Living in Eretz Yisroel is a zechus we don’t take for granted.
In the past decades, physical, political and other realities may have forced us Chareidim from Western countries not to make an issue of living in Eretz Yisroel, but the time may have come to bring up its value once again.
In order to promote an appreciation of living in Eretz Yisroel, we are pleased to announce the publication of a new biweekly sheet in English, “Al HaAretz – Perspectives on Eretz Yisroel.”
The sheet includes a column called “Eretz Chemdah: An Inside View,” featuring insights and experiences of an immigrant – with a Chareidi/Yeshiva background – from America or another English-speaking country, living now in Eretz Yisroel.
It also features a section with a substantial excerpt from one of various contemporary seforim on Torah, mitzvos, halachos, and minhagim of Eretz Yisroel. Three smaller sections include a quote from one of our gedolim about Eretz Yisroel, a bit about a place in Eretz Yisroel written by a tour guide, and some history tidbits – all from a Chareidi/Yeshiva perspective.
The sheet will be published B”H once every two weeks.
Free subscriptions for the printed version are available for shuls and chinuchinstitutions. To subscribe, please reply to this email with name of institution, contact name and phone#/email, number of copies requested and mailing address.

Yours truly,
Yoel Berman
Editor, “Al HaAretz”
