Rav Shlomo Katz brings a halacha from Even HaEzer that might surprise you: when a couple disagrees about making aliyah, the side refusing to move could lose their halachic standing. Based on the Gemara in Ketubot, we explore powerful rulings that prioritize living in Eretz Yisrael—even over major marital contracts. Whether moving from chutz la’aretz to Israel or from Israel to Yerushalayim, halacha sees aliyah as a spiritual elevation. A fascinating look at how seriously Chazal took the mitzvah of settling the Land.
