AAQ – A lot of times a “younger” sister could actually be married before the “older” brother who is the chosson and would like to come to her brother’s chassanah with her husband. The problem is is that the Israeli government does not let anybody who is not Israeli to freely come in and out of the country. Even someone who has lived in Israel for over 20 years but does not hold Israeli citizenship cannot return to his or her home simply because he or she is not Israeli. It has taken organizations, such as Chaim V’Chessed many tireless hours of work to get them to allow students who have been duly vaccinated in this country to be able to return should they dare leave the borders. I am not even referring to tourists and the like. But there are even other situations, such as my son who left for America for an extended visit with my family before vaccines were available and was not allowed to come back home for Pesach, even if he had been willing to sit in quarantine for the required two weeks.
