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?

Getting there

Where are you flying from?

This program is in the New York (JFK) area, so there’s no flight to plan.

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

Nearly everyone drives from the New York area; guests flying in land at a New York airport and drive or take the train about an hour.

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).

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.
