Isolation

You are told that moving to Israel is coming home, but you do it and find yourself alone. Israelis are not friendly people. Even the religious community is not good in this regard. Part of the problem is lack of space. The apartments are tiny and that makes it difficult to have guests. There's no place for guests to sleep. But even Shabbos meals are a problem. You can't have over a family of seven. And families with small children are a problem because there's no place for the kids to play. You set up a toy for them six inches from the dining table and try not to step on them.

Here's a dining room in a $1.1 million apartment. How many guests can you fit in that table?

Additionally, the culture is such, and small space may have a role in this, that boys and girls are not to be invited over at the same time. So a family of boys and girls is not welcome, and if the host family has boys and girls nobody is welcome. 

This becomes a problem even for friends visiting friends. 

Shabbos becomes a day of isolation, and that's not good for keeping children on the derech. Shabbos becomes a day of boredom.

How about going outside to play? There's no yard. Are you going to play in the parking lot in the blazing heat? You can try but watch out for bullies. I know some little girls who tried to jump rope but were were set up by some bullying boys whose parents refused to  reprimand them. The boys jumped into the middle of the jumping area. They shouted at the girls. One girl was punched in the breast. Another was offered 100 shekels to take off her clothes. One boy tried to unzip the dress of a little girl. This is all in the parking lot outside my apartment. The parents of the boys didn't care. That's an Israeli mentality. 

So all you Zionists out there, with all your guilt trips about chutzniks not moving to Israel because they can't give up their materialism, you need some materials to be Torah observant. You don't have a right to ruin your children in exchange for your childish dream of living in the Medinah.
