There was a time when people who observed the Jewish traditions of Passover had to either stay home or visit a very limited number of locations for a perfect Passover vacation. Passover programs have strict food and worship guidelines that the Jewish observers must adhere to. There were very few places that took the time and made the effort to make sure the food and atmosphere of their establishments met these requirements.
We are proud to say that Passover-friendly locations can now be found in almost every country on almost every continent of the world. This springtime celebration is now recognized by the hotels and resorts as being an important holiday.
Passover Friendly
A Passover-friendly establishment makes sure the foods offered to the guest during their stay have no chametz, and the dishes and utensils have never been used for chametz preparation. They also make sure that a Jewish rabbi or advisor oversees the kitchen, and the preparation of the entire establishment prior to the event.
Seder dinners are provided for the entire guest list. You can also choose private seders that include only your family or travelling companions.
Entertainment, refreshments and religious worship and activities are provided for all ages. Children will be entertained so parents can take the time to enjoy their own age-appropriate functions.
There will be nightly entertainers and performers for the guests to enjoy at no additional cost. There are babysitters who will sit with the children, there is swimming, hiking, golf, tennis, spas, and many other activities for you to participate in without ever leaving the hotel grounds.
Passover friendly means that the hotel or resort welcomes Jewish travellers. The preparations are made for you and all you have to do is pack your bags and go enjoy everything the location has to offer.
The United States
The United States offers many Passover-friendly destinations across the country. Some of the states, like California and Florida have more than one hotel or resort that encourages and welcomes guests at this time of year.
You can choose from locations that are family-friendly and offer children the opportunity to go to some of the biggest amusement parks and attractions in the country. Disneyland, Lego-land, Sea World, and more. These parks are not just for the young in years, most people of all ages find enjoyment and entertainment at these locations.
Some of the finest golf courses in the country are located close to these Passover destinations. You can play golf, shop, enjoy outdoor sports and activities, and dine on the finest foods in the United States.
If you want to see the coast there are accommodations for you. If you want to see the mountains there are accommodations for you. If you want to see the dessert, there is somewhere for you to stay near the dessert.
Europe
Of course, you expected European countries and cities to offer Passover-friendly destination packages. Italy, Spain, Greece, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, and more. If there is somewhere in Europe that you have always wanted to visit, then Pesach 2022 is the time for you to go.
The beaches in some of the European countries are the most outstanding beaches in all of the world. The food in these areas is unique, tasty, and will keep your Seder dinner from being anything but boring.
South Africa
In South Africa, the Passover programs offer safaris and the chance for you to see the flora and fauna that make this part of the world so intriguing and unique. If you have never seen giraffes, zebras, and big cats in their natural habitat then you have to have a trip to South Africa on your bucket list.
Canada
In Canada, you will find the availability of Pesach programs is unique. If you are a ski enthusiast, then you want to make sure that you visit Chol Hamoed at least once in your lifetime. Many people want to only go to places that are warm and have water activities close at hand. There are some people who would love the cool climate of Canada and the chance to see beautiful snow-covered areas.
Mexico
Great food, beautiful beaches, and some of the friendliest people on earth are awaiting you in Mexico for Pesach 2022. Swim with dolphins and see whales up close. Go deep-sea fishing, hike the trails and see the natural beauty of the local scenery.
Enjoy the music and the lively nighttime activities. Relax in a lounge chair on the beach and enjoy the bluest waters and the whitest sands.
Israel
The crème de la creme of Passover vacations awaits you in the Jewish promised land. See the Dead Sea, see the Sea of galilee, go to the synagogues and the historical sites that you have heard of all of your life.
Experience a culture where the Jewish celebrations are bigger than you have ever seen, and everyone is a willing participant in your joyful holiday.
Final Thoughts
There are many exotic locations that you can now go to spend your Pesach week in. You can travel the world, see sights that you have only dreamt of, and partake in local customs while eating foods that are tantalizing and very different from your normal fare.
There are cities to visit and remote areas that offer wildlife, tranquil nights and the sounds of nature. Go to the jungle locations and see the Rain Forest and tropical scenery. Go to the mountains and ski, climb, or just enjoy their majestic beauty. Every type of location is now a place where Jewish people can freely go, freely eat and enjoy.
The only thing you need to do is make sure you book your destination early, so they do not get full before you go.
