An Israeli outside Israel on the second day of Yom Tov

Hi,

There is considerable debate regarding the status of an Israeli who is visiting another country during Yom Tov, vis-a-vis the second day of Yom Tov.

The Shulchan Aruch rules that such a Jew would be required to observe the laws of the second day of Yom Tov while present in a Jewish community.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 496:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
