Question
Hello and blessings, we are a family that moved to the United States after the Passover holiday. I must emphasize that we moved to test compatibility with the place, meaning there is a chance we will stay here for a few years, and a chance we will remain (currently we don't know anything, and we are also not thinking about it right now, as it interferes with the acclimatization attempt). Also, we have an apartment in Israel, and here we are only renting. This year, there will be 3 days twice during the Sukkot holiday in the United States, and I would like to know how to behave halachically. I tried to review the Shulchan Aruch and its commentaries up to the contemporary poskim, but I found it difficult to decide. What is the law regarding: The first day of the holiday, prayers, Kiddush, tefillin yes or no, and blessings. The last day, the difference also regarding sitting in the sukkah on the second day or not, Kiddush, tefillin, etc. Also, in all holidays, what about Eruv Tavshilin, is it necessary or not, can one bless if yes or no. Another thing, is there a practical difference in all of this if I am staying in the holiday in the USA or if I am traveling to Israel (of course, only for the holiday and returning). There might be more details I missed. Thank you very much in advance!
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
