Second Day of Yom Tov - Intending to Live in Israel

Question

Hello, we live in Belgium and rely on my father-in-law's table, who made Aliyah to Israel. In practice, we are with them during holidays and Passover in Israel (they have an apartment in Israel). We also intend to join them and return to Israel, as it is clear to us that we will not stay in Belgium for long. Are we obligated to observe the second day of Yom Tov this upcoming Passover?

Answer

Hello 

As long as you have not moved to Israel, you are obligated to observe the second day of Yom Tov.
