Passover Vacations
Explore Passover Vacations are gaining popularity among Jews who want to avoid the hassle of scrubbing their homes and hosting back-to-back hours-long dinners for dozens of guests. Traveling to vacation spots like Miami Beach, the Catskills and Israel for Passover has become a popular alternative.
“There’s been a massive growth over the last decade to 12 years in the locations, in the variety of hotels, in the prices,” said Ralphi Bloom, the sales and marketing director at Totally Jewish Travel, a Web site that advertises getaways for observant travelers. His company has 120 hotels on five continents that are offering Passover vacation packages, which start at around $10,000 for a family of four.
Beyond Tradition: Elevate Your Passover Experience with a Relaxing Vacation Getaway
The kosher-for-Passover programs offer everything from a full home cooked Seder to unlimited cocktails and gourmet meals, with options for children’s activities, fitness centers and spa services. Often, the organizers will take care of transportation to and from the hotel, and arrange excursions and visits to local attractions for hol hamoed Pesach.
If you’re considering a vacation for Passover, look for a program that includes nursery and/or day camp for the kids. That way, they’re guaranteed to be with other families with similar needs, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands while you relax by the pool or head out on a sightseeing excursion. And make sure to check out the kosher supervision, which should be provided by a reliable rabbinical agency.
