Should Bachurim and Seminary Girls Return to Eretz Yisroel?

Apr 12, 2026·1 min read

Thousands of local parents are still recovering from the Bein Hazmanim disruption and chaos that forced many to reroute their children returning from Eretz Yisroel through Egypt and other locations.

Now, with airports reopened for the time being, and Bein Hazmanim coming to an end, many parents are debating whether to send their children – both bachurim and seminary girls – back to Eretz Yisroel.

While a ceasefire is currently in place, there is growing uncertainty over whether it will hold or if the region could again descend into instability.

Do you think it is advisable to send students back at this time, or is it safer to keep them in their current location for now?
