Living Abroad
Question
Hello Rabbi,
This question may sound theoretical, but it isn't really theoretical.
If I know for certain that as long as I live in Israel, I won't be able to keep the commandments, whereas if I live abroad, I will be able to—would it be preferable for me to live abroad? Am I allowed to live abroad?
Answer
Under that hypothetical assumption, certainly.
