Vaccinated Yeshiva and Seminary Students With Proper Documentation Can Return to Israel after Pesach

By Yehudit Garmaise

   Yeshiva and seminary students who have been vaccinated for COVID or have certificates of recovery will be allowed back in Israel after Pesach, the Israel Population and Immigration Authority said today.

  Upon returning to Israel, students must have with them valid student visas, Israeli vaccine certificates, or Israeli certificates of recovery.

      The Yeshiva and Seminary Coalition for B’nei Chul reminded in a letter that students’ reentry into Israel assumes that COVID-19 infections in Israel continue to decline

   Students who wish to come home for Yom Tov, however, should be warned that if COVID numbers in Israel begin to rise, flights will be cancelled, the coalition warned. 

   “There is a significant risk factor that he or she might not be able to return on time for the Pesach zman,” the coalition wrote in a latter.

   Married students, their spouses, and their children must also provide proof of vaccination or recovery from COVID.

   In addition, the coalition said it “is currently working out the details of which certification will be acceptable to the relevant government agencies, as the green passport is not yet working.”

  Whether new students are allowed to arrive in Israel after Pesach will be announced in the coming days.
