Daily Halacha - Guidelines for Travelers, 24th of Sivan 5777

Are Kohanim (priests) permitted to visit the Cave of Machpelah, Rachel's Tomb, or other tombs of righteous individuals throughout our Holy Land, or not?

It is a mitzvah to gently admonish Kohanim who are meticulous about observing Hashem's word not to place themselves in situations of possible Torah-level impurity, thereby desecrating their priestly sanctity. They should not enter the tombs of the righteous [Yechaveh Da'at 4, 58]

Is it permissible for travelers to eat in the street?

One who eats in the marketplace is comparable to a dog and is disqualified from giving testimony [Shulchan Aruch 34, 18]. However, if one eats in a discreet corner of the street in a modest and respectable manner, there is room for leniency [Sma].
