Question
Hello, My wife and I moved to live in the USA after our wedding, but we come to Israel for the holidays. Is there a permission not to observe the second day of Yom Tov while we are in Israel?
Answer
Hello,
Since your current place of residence is abroad, you are required to observe the second day of Yom Tov, even when you are in Israel.
Source
Mishnah Berurah, Siman 496, Se'if Katan 13
And a resident of the diaspora who comes to Israel, if he intends to return to his place, must observe two days of Yom Tov.
