News from Eretz Yisroel is that several Sefardic Rabbis gave a one time heter to use Zoom so elderly people can participate in a seder.

There's an updated version out there with additional signatures.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

There is no way any rav, considered mainstream chariedi, will sign such a  hetter.
Have you heard of ANY of these "Rabbis" before????
None of Chacham Ovadia Yosef's children signed, no one from the Moetzes Chachmei Hatorah, not even from the Chavrei Moetzes Harabanut Harashit L'Yisrael!!!!!!!

You need "shoulders" to start with hetterim like this, its not for the Ram in some Yeshiva to sign on, or the Mara Dasra of some small Yishuv, or the Rav of a Beit Knessset.

Do you know Rav Abergel?
A small yishuv?
They are all Rabonim from North Africa, not the same area where Ovadia yosef comes from.

Not gonna disparage anyone, but I’d like to see someone like Rabbi Shlomo Amar (also Moroccan) on it.

Rav Mordechai Eliyahu came out strongly against it, along with Tzhoar rabonim....

You're funny, you wanted the previous version with all the signatures... Comes out I sent first the updated one.

Little did I know. I saw a different version than the one you posted, and since it had more signatories, I assumed it to be a later version.

I just found this news item about the retractions.

I am booked through a company called Vacasa.

They offered me 110% credit and I told them I just want a full refund. They are refusing.

I will try going through cc.

Now that it is clear that all the Israel Pesach programs have been cancelled due to government regulations I would be interested in hearing what refunds others have received from the operators. We received 70% cash refund and 10% voucher. Is there any way to receive the rest of the amount from sources other than the operator (e.g., insurance, government funds)?

CC chargeback? Ask for 30% and say you don’t care for the voucher.

The governor put a statewide ban on short term rentals.

Either way they should be forced to cancel.
If they don’t have to cash to give you that should their problem as it’s supposed to be on their books as a liability until stay.
