Agudath Israel Advocacy Continues to Ease Way for Arba Minim

As in past years, Agudath Israel of America's Washington Office has worked closely with agencies of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to help avoid potential problems for travelers carrying arba minim.

Both the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have notified their respective field personnel about the upcoming Sukkos holiday and the increased level of travel by persons of the Jewish faith, many of whom will be carrying arba minim. The agencies have also made this information available to the public - the TSA notice here and the CBP notice here.

The notifications, which have been sent out to federal officials at airports and border crossings, emphasize the religious significance of these items and outline the rules and procedures that would help allay possible security and health issues that are of concern to the federal government. Prior to these agency steps, lack of familiarity regarding Sukkos and the arba minim had led to numerous incidents each year of inadvertent mishandling and mistreatment -- including denial of entry -- of these ritual objects.

The TSA Notice makes clear that the arba minim carried in airports, through security checkpoints or on aircraft, are not on the "prohibited items list" and provides instructions for travelers needing "special accommodations" in regard to checkpoint screening. The CBP Guidance sets forth detailed information regarding the inspection process for personal sets of arba minim brought into the United States from foreign countries at select ports of entry and points out that the agency is "committed to treating all travelers, including travelers who may be observing Sukkot, with respect and dignity at all U.S. ports of entry."

We are gratified by the ongoing sensitivity of these agencies to the religious concerns of our community," said Rabbi Abba Cohen, Agudath Israel's Vice President for Government Affairs and Washington Director. "They are taking meaningful and appropriate steps to accommodate our religious needs."

He also thanked his colleague Rabbi Ariel Sadwin for serving as the main Agudah point of contact with those federal agencies related to the annual guidance.

Agudath Israel of America once again produced a one-page handout that travelers can print out - or save to their phones - to familiarize themselves with the rules before traveling.

BS"D

Dear Aneinu Members,

Yom Kippur is almost here. The day that we become like angels. The day that our will and Hashem's will become one. A day of forgiveness. A day of starting anew with a clean slate. A day when Heaven and Earth meet. A day when we let go of our materialistic pursuits and focus on our spirituality. What a gift! May we all be zoche to achieve true teshuva, remove the barriers we have created between us and our Creator, experience personal redemption, and the ultimate geulah shlema.

Please remember to say your Tehillim this Shabbos. As the days get shorter, remember that it is perfectly fine to say your Tehillim on Friday night. You may check the Shabbos Tehillim spreadsheet if you are unsure which kappitlach you signed up for.

Wishing you all a peaceful Shabbos and a gmar chasimah tova,

Chaya Miriam
