You know you have been too long in Israel when ...
...you start to enjoy Yemenite Jewish prayers and you understand every word of it in Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic...

You have not been "too long" in Israel - you have just begun. When your children's children's children have been in Eretz Yisrael for a thousand years, perhaps then it will have been too long.
PS I hate the echo (reverb) effect that is so popular in Middle Eastern recordings. No one sounds like that in real life.
On a second thought, yes, the sound is not real. I am used to that effect because it is the Oriental style and I live in the Orient. The Muezzins calling the faithful to prayer at early morning sound like that.

Maybe your hearing is better than mine. To me, it seems unprocessed.
