Chortkover Rebbe, R’ Yisroel Friedman ZT”L would say:
“The Yidden are not the only nation to be exiled from their country. Throughout history, other nations have also been exiled from their homes. The difference is that the other nations never suffered a spiritual exile like Klal Yisroel. Not only were we driven from our land, but we also lost our Bais Hamikdash and were cut off from Divine prophecy, which can only occur in Eretz Yisroel. Therefore, even if we stand up and lead the Jewish people back to the Holy Land, our salvation is not yet complete, until Hashem Yisborach Himself will redeem us with both a physical and spiritual redemption.”
R’ Gamliel Rabinowitz Shlit’a (Tiv HaEmunah) would say: “'בשבעים נפש ירדן אבתיך מצרימה' - Yaakov Avinu came down to Egypt with an entourage of seventy souls. However, after undergoing and surviving the immense suffering of slavery, Klal Yisroel left Egypt numbering six-hundred thousand men over the age of twenty, besides all the women and children. In a little over two hundred years, the nation blossomed in the midst of intense suffering. The tremendous lesson to be learned from these events is that no matter what terrible situation a person may find himself in, he can always search and discern the chessed of Hashem that is with him as well.”
A Wise Man would say:
“Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.”
