Going To Eretz Yisrael But I Don’t Want To Vaccinate [#15681]

October 9, 2021

QUESTION:

My brother wants to go learn in Eretz Yisrael after Succos but he doesn’t want to take the vaccine, but the government may require the vaccine and he is nervous that he will get into trouble when he arrives. What is the Rav’s advice and can he get a berachah (the name is….)

ANSWER:

The zechus of Eretz Yisrael will assist him, to come to Eretz Yisrael and to grow properly in Eretz Yisrael. Upon coming into Eretz Yisrael, he should use the segulah of the Nefesh HaChaim of thinking about Ain Od Milvado, that there is no power in control other than Hashem. And Hashem will aid him to succeed on his way here.
