Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

I apologize for the harsh words. My mother needs to urgently get to the US, and I’ve been getting calls and messages from many people I know that “Chaim V’chesed says they arranged emergency flights” but they’re in fact unbookable, definitely not by travel agents as they claim.
I wrongly let out my frustration on an amazing organization that does so much to help Klal Yisroel.
My mother finally got a seat for today’s LY flight to JFK, but was denied exit by the committee. She holds dual citizenship. Maybe it’s because of my עין הרע...
I’m making a bris for twin boys iy”h on Tuesday, and can really use her help. The committee claimed
that a daughter in law giving birth isn’t enough of a reason >:(

She doesn't need permission if she comes to the airport and shows her foreign passport.

I thought so too, but apparently that didn’t work. Unless she just took the wrong route.

The entire committee should be committed to solitary confinement, until restrictions are lifted.

They have no sense of urgency, no sense of humanitarian needs.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

So you’re OK with condemning Jews and cruel and unusual punishment when it’s people who you think are hurting you?

You can say that about people who are suffering because they're having a hard time getting to Israel too.

There you go again. What makes you think that people needing to travel in or out of Israel have sinned against others or caused others undue harm or discomfort.

Why are יסורים ממרקים only for people who sinned? It happens even to innocent babies.

Are you saying you wish יסורים ממרקים unto those who sin, but not those who are innocent?

Not AFAIK
Conversely, the MoH is pushing to extend the airport lockdown

If anyone says they weren't warned....

I would add that NOW is the time to plan where you're going to get Matza from, and plan other pesach orders. Many of these have deadlines close to or before RC Nissan.
Unless you dont mind eating whatever they can find in the local stores

Looks like they are going to be switching to the Australian model. Allowing 2,000 people per day.

I do not wish יסורים ממרקים to anyone.

I guess a more appropriate scenario for that committee would be מלקין אותו עד שיאמר רוצה אני.

FTR, I applied for an ishur last Sunday on URGENT humanitarian grounds. Ishur was granted on Wednesday. That is unacceptable turnaround time for such cases.

My uncle's levaya is being held up now waiting for permission for family members to escort him.
