A small extension to the post of ilovetheholyland: The higher level of ruchniyus, and the histapkus is fairly engrained in the religious communities. There is however a majority of the population that is on a gashmius track, wanting to be like the Americans, or the Western Europe type of culture. If one is fortunate to have some contact with this population, it is of great kiruv value for them to see some of the finer midos of the American mindset. One can sense that even in the limited kibbutz galuyos that we all have what to learn from one another.
