rational – being temporary in Israel does not acquire residency in Israel, keeping one still chayov in two days Yom Tov. The question is if a single person becomes a resident or not. Same in reverse, if an Iraeli bochur or girl visits usa, does he keep two days Yom Tov – and miss putting on tefillin on the second day yom tov…this isn’t how we “feel” about it, but exact application of the halachic criteria – hence the opinions of poskim (and our opinions mean nothing).
