An inspiring article in Ha'aretz about young Israeli Orthodox rabbis who serve in remote communities overseas and set up creative programs which reinvigorate their congregants.
Writer Yair Sheleg fails to ask them, however, one of the questions which always intrigues me when I hear of Israeli shlichim working abroad. And that is, how has their experience in the Diaspora -- with a community structure virtually unknown in Israel, with generally smoother relations between the different Jewish streams, with the experience of being a minority -- affected their view of Jewish life in general, and of Jewish life in Israel?
