I understand that America's culture is at odds with Judaism. But I don't understand why Jews wouldn't just make aliyah to Israel instead of pointing out the flaws in the other countries. To me, the article is just pointing out the obvious: things are unholy outside the holy land. Okay, America is unholy, but it's also a safe-haven for many ostracized Jews to feel accepted once again & that feeling alone is what brings them closer to HaShem/Torah/Jews/T'shuva. I feel that needs to be pointed out.
