I love ramat beit shemesh; it’s the closest to America in Israel.
That’s davka a reason not not to live there. I’m very glad we stayed away from the Beit Shemesh/RBS ghetto when we made aliyah. I can definately see that my kids turned out much better (school, socially, speaking Hebrew) than their friends who are there.
