I don’t know what the situation is right now. I know, like the Rabbonim in this video explained, that 15-20 years ago it was extremely difficult for school aged children to make Aliyah. My question is this. One of the biggest issues that people faced is the two tzedadim of frum Israeli life. Either you live as a Chareidi and all that entails, or you live as a Da’ati Leumi and all that entails.
There was simply no room for someone like your typical kid from Torah Vodaas who wears a hat in shul, plays basketball during recess, learns most of the day, follows the Yankees, and will eventually learn in kollel for a few years before going to college and working as an accountant.
Has that changed and how?
