Passover Vacations
With Global Passover Destinations you can travel almost anywhere and still celebrate the holiday. You can choose from resorts with beautiful beaches, golf courses and spas or you can opt for a tour of Provence with accommodations in picturesque villages. Many of these programs also include guided tours and a boxed lunch during chol hamoed. Some of the higher end programs are known for bringing in famous singers, mentalists and scholars-in-residence to add an element of entertainment and fun to the week.
For many people planning a Passover vacation, the location is a top priority. While there are a few options in the United States, most programs are based overseas and offer everything from white water rafting and a natural hot spring volcano spa to a visit to the Galilee and other historical sites.
Passover Escapes: Crafting Your Dream Vacation for a Meaningful Celebration
Some operators spend the year planning for the program, which between the logistics of delivering kosher food to exotic locales and the multiple requirements of traditionally observant Jewish travelers is both complicated and expensive. With profits largely determined by the last 10% to 15% of rooms booked, a bad year can make or break a program.
For many families, especially those with children, these programs are an excellent choice. The rabbinical staff and caterers work closely with hotel or resort chefs to ensure the quality of the meals. Many of these programs also have day camps for the kids, teen programming and adult lectures. Adding to the value of these trips is that you can avoid the hassle and expense of cleaning your own home before and after Passover and spend the holiday with a group of like-minded individuals who are there for the same reason.
