Kashrut and standards

Taken from the operator’s own website. A dashed outline means the operator hasn’t said, not that the answer is no.

Supervision: Rabbi Dovie Shapiro, Chabad of Flagstaff
Who it suits: Chabad-run, open to all

Who is the supervisor?

The operator’s website does not name a rabbi or agency I could look up.

Worth asking the operator

Who signs the kashrut certificate for this program, and can I see this year’s certificate?
How many years has he supervised this operator’s Pesach programs, and this hotel in particular?
Does an agency or beth din stand behind the certificate, or is it his personal hechsher?
Is he in the hotel for the whole of Yom Tov, and how many mashgichim work under him?

Everyone named for kashrut supervision

The operator’s website doesn’t state these. If any matter to you, get the answer in writing:

Standards can change from year to year. Confirm with the operator and your own rav.

The hotel

About the building itself, all year round. The Pesach program is run by the operator, not the hotel.

I don’t have confirmed details for this building yet. The map and reviews below come straight from Google.

Getting there

Where are you flying from?

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 5.5 hours in the air.

Phoenix Sky Harbor lists year-round nonstops from New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago O'Hare, London Heathrow and Paris; Toronto is listed as seasonal.

Most travelers fly into Phoenix and drive about 2.5 hours to Flagstaff, or connect in Phoenix or Dallas to the small Flagstaff airport.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX): about 2.5 hours by carThe main airport for most visitors; about a 2.5-hour drive north.
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG): about 10 minutes by carSmall local airport with connecting flights through Phoenix or Dallas.

Late April weather

Cool mountain weather at about 7,000 feet, with highs around 60°F (16°C) and nights near freezing, about 31°F (-1°C).

Good to know

Arizona does not change its clocks; in April it is three hours behind New York.
Flagstaff sits at about 7,000 feet, so pack layers and expect cold nights.
A car is needed for nearly all outings.

The hotel on Google Maps

Google’s star rating and reviews are for Chabad Molly Blank Jewish Community Center; DoubleTree by Hilton Flagstaff and other partner hotels all year round, not for the Pesach program.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

UK government advice

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
