- Q. Kvod Rabenu Shelit’a. As people are already beginning to travel in and out of Israel as always by plane, now (end of June 2025), we still have tickets that we acquired before to travel out of Egypt. Is there an issue of not going to Egypt in our days?
A. On question 4053 we wrote:
“We have a group that plans to spend next Pesach in Yerushalaim. They are also planning to take a tour of three days in Egypt while visiting many relevant places before arriving for Pesach in Yerushalaim. What is Horav Miller’s opinion. Thank you.
A. Although Poskim disagree regarding if it is permitted to settle in Egypt in our contemporary days, there seems to be an agreement that there is no problem with just traveling to Egypt for a visit. (See Talmud Yerushalmi, Sanhedrin, end of the Ch. 10; Radvaz, Commentary on Rambam, Kings, 5, 7, 8; Heichal Yitzchok E.H. 1: 12; Yehave Daas 3: 81 and others).
Many great Tzadikim and leaders have also visited Egypt. (See Even Sapir 20: 1.2 and others).
