Naftush: It is nice that you have found elements in contemporary Israeli society to praise. But that is not reason enough to loose sight of the ultimate issue.
Walking along many of the streets of the holiest city in the world, one cannot but be struck by the complete lack of tznius that is found there. And if this is true in Yerushalayim, how much more so in Tel Aviv. The two bastions of Israeli society. Even there in our ‘Jewish’ country, on the night of December 31 thousands of Israelis get dressed up (or down really) and rush off to get drunk in celebration of “Silvester” (named for Pope Silvester I).
Yes, there E”Y is a beautiful land. And many Israelis make huge advancements in a number of fields such as medicine and technology. But would you risk releasing your children to a society that places goyish ideology at their helm in the hope that they are not attracted to the evils that lurk around almost every corner? Do you think your teenage son can walk down the streets of Tel Aviv on a summer day and come back to you the same as he left?
