UJM said: “Jews in Eretz Yisroel are in Golus.”

Even if that is true, there are still many Torah Laws [Halachot]
that apply ONLY in Eretz Yisrael, even in our times.
In the early 1800s of the Common Era, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
taught that tefilah in Eretz Yisrael is much greater than
tefilah outside of Eretz Yisrael, even in his times.
Therefore, the concept that “Jews in Eretz Yisroel are in Golus”
seems to NOT apply to tefilah and NOT apply to mitzvot that
are specifically related to Eretz Yisrael, like terumot and maaserot.
We do NOT add an additional day of Yom Tov in Eretz Yisrael,
even in our times, which seems to indicate that Eretz Yisrael
is NOT galus, with respect to the .Yomim Tovim.
