[Avodah] The 8th Day of Pesach in Golus

>>Yesterday in EY was just  Shabbos,  whereas here it was both Shabbos 
and the 8th Day of Yom  Tov.  Therefore, it seems to me that there was 
more kedusha here  yesterday than in EY.

Dare one say that yesterday it was preferable to be  in Golus given 
the combination of the kedusha of Shabbos and the d'rabbonim  kedusha 
of the 8th day of Pesach? <<

On every yom tov sheni shel galuyos we have yom tov when those in E'Y do  
not.  We have that extra day because of sefeka deyoma, i.e., BECAUSE we are  
in galus.  What you are suggesting is that it is in general better to be in  
galus than in E'Y because our doubt as to what day it is somehow increases  
kedusha!  Needless to say this seems prima facie absurd to me.   
Additionally, it is only on yom tov that the day approximates the level of  kedusha 
that is present in E'Y every day of the year, which is why we only have  
duchening on yom tov while they duchen in E'Y every day.
