  1. How does building this city hasten the coming of Moshiach and the return of klal Yisroel to eretz Yisroel?

    • By learning Torah anywhere in the world but specifiacally in a place away from distractions ( which apparrently this city is supposed to be) That is the wy we Bring Moshiach, and Moshiach will have no problem bringing klal Yisroel to Eretz Yisroel

  2. By encouraging the study of torah in the optimal manner,
    ” intention behind the City of Torah is to enjoy learning the Torah away from the stress of city life.”

    • So learning with the stress of city life means learning in Yerushalayim or Bnei Brak is learning in less than optimal fashion? Give me a break…
