Agreed. We are too comfortable. Physically and even spiritually, we arent willing to risk anything to move. Personally I probably learn more Torah here than I would there. I am a product of the community I grew up in and thrive best under these conditions, familiar rabbis, schools, shuls, minhagim, language. Not to mention family. Moving to place that is unfamiliar and may be viewed as dangerous to live may not seem like the best option to optimize my relationship with Bore Olam. My rabbi always stresses how we will all end up in Israel and how he wishes to be there (the community needs him and held him back from moving several times). If we fully understood the zchut of living in Israel we would leave everything behind.
