וְאָמַר רַבֵּנוּ ז"ל: מִי שֶׁיּוֹדֵעַ מִפְּנֵי מָה הָיְתָה אֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל תְּחִלָּה בְּיַד כְּנַעַן וְאַחַר־כָּךְ בָּאָה לְיַד יִשְׂרָאֵל, הוּא יוֹדֵעַ מִפְּנֵי מָה הוּא הָיָה תְּחִלָּה בְּקַאמִינִיץ וְאַחַר־כָּךְ בְּאֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The Rebbe said, “Whoever knows why the Land of Israel was first in the hands of the Canaanites and only later settled by the Jews, knows why I journeyed to Kaminetz before traveling to the Holy Land” (see *Likutey Halakhot*, *Milah* 3).
