I find Israeli secular Jews to be fascinating creatures. On the one hand, they're as non religious as they can be. On the other hand, they davka would never step foot in a Reform/Conservative. Maybe Agam can tell us why.

Then you have absolutely no understanding of Israeli Judaism compared to American Judaism.
So why are Israelis so unexcited by reforming our religion?
But they are. Israel is becoming less Orthodox everyday. They may not use the words Conservative & Reform, but if one lists the tenets of them you get Israels version of it simply called Secular/Traditional which is simply not religious.
FWIW in Israel
ultra-Orthodox (haredi), Modern Orthodox (dati), traditional (masorati), and secular (hiloni).
