“A Quick Trip To Eilat?” Rav Shmuel HaLevi Vosner
Jump to Comments
“This brings us to the issue of leaving Eretz Yisroel. The Rambam in Hilchos Milachim (5:9) paskens that it is forbidden to leave Eretz Yisroel to go to Chutz La’Aretz. Regarding this, says the Shevet HaLevi, it is clear from the Rambam that the main prohibition is going to Chutz LaAretz to take up residence there. The only time this is permitted is if there is a severe famine in Eretz Yisroel. For someone leaving on a temporary basis, whose place of residence is still established in Eretz Yisroel, it is permissible to leave if there is a “Tzorech”, a need. This includes traveling for business even if you are not lacking sustenance. ” more@Revach.net
