Question:
Hi, hope all is well.
I live in Ramat Eshkol and am currently in New York. Due to the whole corona virus and cancellation of flights/not allowing foreigners into Isreal, I am not sure when I will be allowed to come back to Yerushalayim. Am I still obligated to pay my rent/do my regular obligations that are written in my contract still stand? I would greatly appreciate if the Rav can get back to me as soon as possible.
