Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Ladi [1745-1812] said: "The love of Zion must be as a fire burning in the heart of the Jew. He who wishes to be a true Jew must go to Palestine; and if there be obstacles in the way, he must overcome them all and go there.
--quoted in Louis Newman's "Hasidic Anthology," Schocken Books, 1963, at p. 301.
Shabbat Shalom.
