since people in Israel work on Sunday instead of having the day off like here when can a person travel to different places to remind them and allow them to feel why they live there?I feel that with People working 5 days a week full time and im not talking about the husbands that work and the mothers that dont, both husband and wife work when do they get to relax and connect with Hashem by going to the kotel?

….lil B, you’re making things up.

IN AMERICA, I rarely saw anyone spend there day off in purely spiritual pursuits. Many times, people went to parks, malls, restaurants, etc. Rarely, did they go somewhere to pray & connect to H-shem.

IN ISRAEL, people DO travel despite working 6 days. Even fairly large families travel for Shabbos & Yom Tovim. It’s very possible. There are still many people camping out in tents within the old city & some parks in other neighborhoods, because they wanted to spend Shavuos at the Kotel. If a person REALLY wants to make something happen, then H-shem helps them.

Either way, from what I see here, a “full-time” work schedule (as well as the work ethic) isn’t really the same as America’s concept of the term.
