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.

That's not correct.
They are just changing the way the exipiry date is calculated. AFAIK it's 6 months from 3rd shot and 6 months from 'recovery' date, which corresponds to the date of your serology test

Are you sure about this? I had a serological test done in Israel in the last 6 months and I'm looking to go to Israel for only a couple days... I cannot afford to get stuck in Israel for a week. Is there clarity about this?

You can find the broad guidelines at the link below.
But in any case, wait until October 3rd and check your ramzor app - the new expiry date should show up, and then you'll have a definitive answer

Washington is much much quicker than that for most.

Does Washington work for applicants from New York (recovery information gives it away)?

What would happen if I filled out an entry form and then pushed off my ticket a few days later? Would I need to cancel the first form in order for the second to be properly registered in the system? If yes, would I need to call or can it be done online?

1 - Does a Yeshiva Bachur with a student Ishur need to get travelers insurance before leaving the US that specifically covers Covid-19 or is it good enough for him to get Meuchedet once he's in Israel?

2 - If it's necessary, where can he get from & what should it cost?

Thanks.

I submitted a entry form for a customer, then the passenger changed the airline, so I just submitted another one.

No not neccesary but would recommend for him to have insurance for the flight. It's very easy to sign up for Meuhedet while in Israel unless one has a preexisting medical condition.
