[Avodah] tefillin on second day yomtov

[Eli Turkel]

<<I find it hard to believe that someone who owns an apartment in EY
which he uses for a month or two a year, even if he spends all of the
Yomim Tovim in EY,  is to conduct himself as an Israeli.  It seems to
me that he is an American tourist who happens to have a fixed place
to stay in EY whenever he goes to EY.>>

My feeling is that Israeli poskim (even including the Eda Hacharedit) tend
to be more mekil about considering a tourist as an Israeli for second day
yomtov if there is some evidence that links them to EY.
OTOH American poskim tend to be more machmir along the lines of Prof.
Levine. At one extreme is RYBS who paskened that an oleh should keep 2 days
(at least lechumra) since many Olim return after a year or two.
At the other end Rabbi Goren said that shleichim from EY to outside could
keep essentially 1 day (in private) since they will eventually return to EY
even if it takes several years.
