G-d Can Protect You Anywhere
A non-Jewish reader and her family want to live in Israel as Jews, but they cannot make Aliyah. What can they do?
Dear Rachel,
I just read the article Thank You God, that I live in Israel.
I see all these things you describe. I want to come to Israel for all these reasons.
But I can’t. Because I and my dear family are not Jewish.
We want to live like Jews with all our heart, with all we have. Without a Jewish life we are nothing, we have nothing.
Can you be honest to me: Can you do anything for me? Why shall I read time after time these articles and be a spectator?
What is your message to us: I’m so sorry but stay there and watch at all the bad things that happen to you? Can you give me an honest answer and not a clincher?
Thank you so much!
With kind regards,
Rianne from the Netherlands

Your question is a very good one, and one that many people are surely asking themselves too.
Everything Goes According to the Will
If you are following Rabbi Arush’s Emuna Coaching exercises, you know that the most important thing is the WILL!!! (Click here to read all about it.)
Hashem is perfectly capable of protecting anyone, anywhere in the world.
For a Jew to have the ability to come but to decide not to come – there is a very big judgment over his head. I have to tell them to turn everything over for the good and come to Israel, and turn the judgment into blessings! For both their physical, and spiritual, good.
However, this doesn’t apply to you – since you are judged according to your will, your true desires. And we know from Rabbi Arush that for what you really want, you pray for, learn about and work towards, every day.
Therefore, if you want to come to Israel, and pray to come to Israel, and you cannot because you are not Jewish, so it is not held against you! You don’t have that judgment over your head, so you have nothing to worry about. Wherever you are, that’s where Hashem wants you to be at this moment – for the very best. And Hashem will certainly take care of you in that place, as long as you keep doing your best to speak to Him every day in personal prayer, serve Him and trust in Him only.
This also holds true for a Jew who wants to come, believes in Rabbi Arush and is answering his call to come home to the Land of Israel immediately – even if it means leaving parents and other loved ones behind. If they are praying to come every day, and trying to come, and in reality, it takes however long it takes to actually get on that plane, and overcome all the obstacles – so then their judgment is not based on their physical location, but on their true desire to be in Israel.
Make Sure G-d is Happy with You
As a non-Jew, your job is to keep the 7 Noahide Mitzvot (click here to see articles in NOAHIDE WORLD), which includes emuna and speaking to Hashem every day, and also trusting in Hashem.
So, if you are doing that – then Hashem is very happy with you! Make sure to spend time every day speaking to Hashem in personal prayer, keep working on yourself, and know that you are fulfilling your purpose in this world. This alone is a huge merit!!!
Next, we have another rule Rabbi Arush has been discussing a lot lately – whatever you trust in, is given power over you.
So, if you trust only in Hashem – then Hashem has complete power over you, to protect you, to provide for you, and everything else. And nothing else has power over you or can harm you if it isn’t Hashem’s will, for your very best.
This rule holds no matter where you are in the world. Rabbi Arush has said many times that each and every one of us needs this protection – to be shielded by Hashem because we trust only Him, and fear only not doing His will.
The key is trying your utmost to ensure that Hashem doesn’t need to send you suffering, for the good purpose of pushing you to do His will, which is very good for you. That’s why you can’t fear anything, except not doing His will.
Like, for instance, moving to Israel. Many tzaddikim are saying that things outside the land will continue to deteriorate in order to force the Jews to finally do Hashem’s will and leave. I continue to shed tears that this won’t happen, and people will wake up to find Hashem, learn emuna, and want to come without any stronger wake-up calls – but I have to tell you what I am hearing from reliable sources.
So, for Jews living outside the land, if they really only fear Hashem – then that automatically means that they aren’t afraid of not having a reliable income in Israel, they aren’t afraid of all the changes a move across the world entails, and they aren’t afraid of terrorism or anything else. In the place of fearing what Rebbe Nachman calls “fallen fears,” they trust that He who commands them to move, will surely provide for them properly in their new home.
But again, this doesn’t apply to you. It sounds to me like you fear Hashem, and fear sin, and really want to do His will, whatever it takes. So, just strengthen your trust in Hashem, and ask Hashem to help you succeed!
The Critical Factor
Another important thing to remember – Rabbi Arush just discussed this miracle formula – that giving charity is called being merciful on others. Someone who is merciful – gets mercy from Hashem, midda k’neged midda, tit for tat. That’s what we all need right now! (Read more in Rabbi Arush’s article The Guaranteed Investment).
And Rabbanit Arush recently told me – The world is sustained on the charity they give to the Land of Israel.
She promised me: Those who support emuna, those who distribute emuna, those who donate to support causes in the Land of Israel and the poor of Israel (like Breslev Israel and Chut shel Chessed Institutions) – everything will be fine by them! This merit alone can protect them!
In Conclusion
So, first off you have nothing to worry about as long as you serve Hashem properly as a Noahide and trust only in Hashem.
Secondly, for added merit and protection, support Rabbi Arush’s Institutions! You can choose from many wonderful programs here on our Donation page.
You can find more practical advice on what to do if you’re stuck outside the Land in a previous article I wrote called STUCK.
Don’t forget Rabbi Arush’s rule: Say Thank You and Cancel Your Suffering! It sounds to me like you’re upset and suffering over this, so do The Law of Thank You every day! Don’t forget to email me your miracle story afterwards…
Don’t worry – our Holy Books say that the true Noahides will also come to live in and around Israel during the times of Mashiach. I pray I will be here to welcome you with open arms…
Stay strong! Hashem is surely with you!
As a follow up, in response, Rianne expressed her great desire to convert to Judaism altogether, even though she doesn’t need to. I am trying to see if there is a way to get her and her family here on a conversion visa. This was very difficult even before Corona, but where there is a will, G-d willing there will be a way…

Rachel Avrahami grew up in Los Angeles, CA, USA in a far-off valley where she was one of only a handful of Jews in a public high school of thousands. She found Hashem in the urban jungle of university. Rachel was privileged to read one of the first copies of The Garden of Emuna in English, and the rest, as they say, is history. She made Aliyah and immediately began working at Breslev Israel.
Rachel is now the Editor of Breslev Israel’s English website. She welcomes questions, comments, articles, and personal stories to her email: rachel.avrahami@breslev.co.il.
