Halachot (Jewish Law) of Travel

The allure of travel is captivating evermore Jews, as the ease of finding kosher programs and tours, destinations with kosher food availability, and Chabad Houses is ever-increasing. With this huge expansion arise serious considerations for tradition-minded (frum) travelers who must also navigate the myriad of Halachic (Jewish Law) questions that arise, ie: the international dateline, cruises, hotels, eruv, shmitta, Thursday flights, salad bars, etc.

The following is an attempt at a comprehensive offering to guide the discerning traveler. It is not meant to eclipse the sage advice of your local Rabbinic authority.
