"And he sent the dove...and it did not find
rest." Yehuda the son of Nachman said in the name of Rabbi Shimon, had
it found rest it would not have returned. Similarly, "she dwelled among
the nations, she did not find rest" (Eicha 1) -- had she [the Jewish
people] found rest, they would not return. Similarly, "and in those
nations you will not find repose, nor rest for the sole of your feet"
(Devarim 28) -- had they found rest they would not return. (Midrash
Rabba Noach 33:6)
In light of all that I have
written previously and all that is happening in the Diaspora after
another respite, no further commentary should be necessary.
