Question

Thank you very much for the quick response!! I checked and saw that there is no city near the mentioned airport, only at a distance of 25 km. But the question is whether I need to observe Yom Tov because there are Jews at the airport.

Answer

Hello,

I asked our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, and he said there is no need to worry about this.

A. It is unclear how many Jews will be there. B. Additionally, it is possible that only in a 'city' of Jews, which is their place of residence, an Israeli who comes there needs to observe the second day of Yom Tov like them, and not in a place where they do not reside.
