I know of other similar cases where RSZA told people visiting to put
on<br>
Tefilin. RSZA does use the Chacham Tzvi a "snif" -see Minchat

The person I am talking about almost always spends Pesach in the US, and,
in recent years, has spent both Pesach, Succos, RH and YK in the
US. Given this, I really see no reason why he does not conduct
himself as an American (which he and his wife are by birth) who
lives primarily in America. <br><br>
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.<br><br>
