The status of Eilat in terms of the Second Festival Day
Question
Is Eilat considered part of the Land of Israel, and if so, in what respect?
Answer
Greetings,
I understand that the question pertains to whether the law of the Second Festival Day applies in Eilat.
Indeed, the authorities are divided on this matter. According to the halacha, one should observe two days of the festival as a stringency.

See in the book 'The Second Festival Day as per its law' Chapter 18, the opinions of the decisors on this matter.
