Are they really frummer in Israel?

 So that's what a local rabbi, originally from LA, who moved to Israel told a shiur. He said they are frummer in Israel. Is he right? No. Middos, seichel, ahavas Yisroel, honesty in business, chesed - those are big parts of being frum. In general, those are not done as well in Israel. There are those and there are those. But Zionists don't think they have to tell the truth. Any praise of Israel must be true. That's the assumption, even though they are slandering good Jews in chutz. I wrote to the rabbi and told him all this. Of course, he didn't reply.
