A month in the US

You need to go with a ATT or one of the virtual networks which use their network. The ATT variant of the Nexus S doesn't support TMobile's 3g/"4g" frequencies.

In my opinion, the best deal is the Straight Talk SIM from Walmart which is $45 for unlimited everything:

There are people that say there is a softcap on it. Pocketmobile also uses ATT's network. I'm not sure how cheap your roaming is on the Israeli providers, but I would think you'd come out cheaper with a virtual Israeli number forwarded to the US number and a cheap calling card back to Israel. I like VOIP Cheap (a Betamax company) with the Mobile VOIP app. 300 minutes a week are free to landlines, it supports VOIP over 3g, Callback, and dial through. 10 euros gets you 90 days worth of coverage.

Let me add (before someone else does) TMobile is rolling out HSPA+ on the 1900mhz band, but it is hardly universal. Using TMobile, your son will find some 3g, but not everywhere.
