Once the promised land was settled, every household brought a sample of their first fruits to the Temple every year and thanked G‑d for the land.
But not until all Jews were safe and settled, each on their own plot of land.
Because that is the way the Jewish nation operates: Like brothers and sisters.
Not one of us can feel thoroughly grateful for their own welfare until everyone else is taken care of.
Likutei Sichot vol. 9, p. 152.
