Who is the supervisor?

The names below come from the operator. Each links to a page of what public sources say, with the sources.

Rabbi Meyer Ebert
No public source linked yet. That says nothing about him either way. Ask the operator the questions below.

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?

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.

Los Angeles (LAX) has nonstops from New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Chicago O'Hare, Toronto, London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Tel Aviv.

Most guests fly into Los Angeles International, about 35 minutes away, or drive from elsewhere in Southern California.

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

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): about 35 minutes by carThe main Los Angeles airport.
Long Beach Airport (LGB): about 25 minutes by carA small, easy airport with fewer routes.

Driving instead

From Los Angeles: about 0.75 hours
From San Diego: about 2 hours
From Las Vegas: about 4.5 hours
From Phoenix: about 5.75 hours

Late April weather

Mild, with days around 68°F (20°C) and nights near 55°F (13°C); the Pacific is about 60°F (16°C), too cold for most swimmers.

Good to know

A car is needed; the hotel is at the marina at the southern tip of Los Angeles.
Theme parks are crowded during chol hamoed, and freeway traffic can double the drive times given here.
Pacific time zone, three hours behind New York.

The hotel on Google Maps

Google’s star rating and reviews are for Hilton San Pedro 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.
