The opening as it read in 2010

Gathering of Israel ( Hebrew : קיבוץ גלויות Kibbutz Galuyot , lit. Ingathering of the Exiles , also known as Ingathering of [the] Diasporas ) is the promise given by Moses , in the Hebrew Bible , to the People of Israel before his death, prior to their entrance to Eretz Israel ( The Land of Israel ). He envisions that the People of Israel will sin in their homeland and will be exiled from it, but also foresees their return to their homeland, and tells them, as the leader of the people of Israel during the Exodus from Egypt , that they will even have it better than their forefathers over there.1 During the days of the Babylonian exile , the prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel encouraged the People of Israel by a promise of a future Ingathering of the Exiles of Israel in the Land of Israel (a Kibbutz Galuyot ) that will occur.2 The lasting desire for ingathering of the exiles of Israel in the Land of Israel was harbored incessantly by Jews ever since the destruction of the Second Temple . The Maimonides foresees its materialization concurrently with the coming of the Messiah .3 The Ingathering of the Exiles of Israel in the Land of Israel, a Kibbutz Galuyot , became the core idea of the Zionist Movement and the core idea of Israel's Scroll of Independence ( Megilat Ha'atzmaut ), embodied by the idea of Aliyah , the definition of all the immigrations of Jews to the Land and the State of Israel (Individual or a group) , and is attributed especially to a "mass" wave of Aliyah for being synonymous with the Exodus from Egypt .4
