The jewish presence in Antwerp...
The jewish presence in Antwerp goes back many centuries.
There is a current that believes Israel could only have been recreated after the arrival of the Messiah: On the other, right-wing Orthodox Jews have rejected Jewish nationalism because they rely on the arrival of a personal Messiah for salvation.
I've read that's why the jewish orthodoxes in Antwerp stay here. A Rabbi said once: what matters is to deserve Jerusalem, not to be there at all cost.
