A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Tzedakah and Healing'
that praise Israel [Jews] in the Diaspora who purchase a home in the Land of Israel for the purpose of welcoming guests
This results in bringing immigrants to the Land of Israel. Even just an apartment but even more so in the case of those who have a share in buildings. They are essential to Israel for hosting guests and when visiting the sick, it is an outstanding and invaluable good deed. It represents the right pillar, the one that has remained whole for our Jewish brethren outside Israel, the principal one of the three pillars upon which the entire world rests so that it not collapse, as is written in the saintly Mishna: "On three things the world stands: on the Torah, on the service and on acts of lovingkindness". Now that in exile the Torah has been neglected, as they said in the Talmud, Tractate Hagigah: "Since the Jewish people were exiled there has been no greater neglect of Torah study than this", and sacrifices also were annulled in the Diaspora, all that remains to keep the world standing, therefore, is the pillar of lovingkindness
Land of Israel sermon, in Peter Rehem, p. 12, Jerusalem, 1961
