Rabbi Pruzansky: America's Got 10-15 Good Years Left
Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, a prominent scholar, rabbi, and on the board of the Beth Din of America, has penned a piece where he bemoans the American election results and concludes the following:
Two bright sides: Notwithstanding the election results, I arose the morning, went to shul, davened and learned Torah afterwards. That is our reality, and that trumps all other events. Our relationship with G-d matters more than our relationship with any politician, R or D. And, notwithstanding the problems in Israel, it is time for Jews to go home, to Israel. We have about a decade, perhaps 15 years, to leave with dignity and without stress. Thinking that it will always be because it always was has been a repetitive and deadly Jewish mistake. America was always the land from which “positive” aliya came – Jews leaving on their own, and not fleeing a dire situation. But that can also change. The increased aliya in the last few years is partly attributable to young people the high cost of Jewish living in America. Those costs will only increase in the coming years. We should draw the appropriate conclusions.Read the whole thing.
If this election proves one thing, it is that the Old America is gone. And, sad for the world, it is not coming back.

America is definitely in a moral decline. I kind of hinted at that here.
But even without that, it is definitely a big mitzvah to come and live here in the land of Israel.
You don't have ten years. You don't even have one year. You will be blessed if G-d is kind enough to give you until the 17th of Tamuz, 5773. For Heaven's Sake, LEAVE NOW while you still can, before you come here to EY with your pajamas in a plastic bag.
Do we need to go over the Zohar VaYeira for 5773? The entire world will gang up on the House of Ya'akov in order to drive her from the world. If it were just meant to be a warning for the State of Israel, it would have said Bais Yisrael, but it says Ya'akov, which includes EVERY JEW IN THE WORLD. Now where do you want to be when that happens? G-d has delayed the Syrian World War from becoming just that, world war, to give you time to leave. PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY that G-d has given you. He wants Jews to live not to suffer when the hammer comes down. After Hurricane Sandy, which 99.9% of the time would have headed out into the North Atlantic, destroyed so many lives with the destruction of so much property and after IT INFLUENCED VOTERS TO VOTE FOR OBAMA, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECIPHER THE MESSAGE! For Heaven's Sake leave or prepare in another way. Call Rav Ariel Bar Tzadok who is building a community in Eastern Tennessee, a place in America which is filled with righteous gentiles. But don't wait another week to get out of where you are or at least to quickly be preparing to leave. Zeh hu.
Finally, a Rabbi is stating the truth; it has finally entered the neshoma. I look forward to more Rabbis admitting the truth. Also, Caroline Glick summed everything up in her editorial in Friday's edition of the Post.
There still is a problem here. THE PRESENT POTUS, not some amorphous future POTUS, is dangerous for your health. To say, I will be out by ten years, leaves you in a dangerous place for the next ten years. Forget about your basements where you can sock away all of your gashmiyut. Give it all up now, not sometime five or seven years from now. It is over NOW, not ten years from now.
