[edit] Leaving Eretz Yisroel

Due to the harsh Roman decrees Rabbi Yochanan Hasandlar and Rabbi Elaza ben Shamua decided to leave Israel and go study by Rabbi Yehuda ben Besera in Nezivin, Bavel. When they reached Sidon, they yearned for Eretz Yisroel, they began weeping and tearing their garments. Then they turned back and went home saying living in Eretz Yisroel is equivalent to all the Mitzvot of the Torah.

[edit] Teachings

A gathering that is for the sake of Heaven will endure, while a gathering that is not for the sake of Heaven will disintegrate.
