Planning a vacation when you’re Jewish can be a bit of a headache especially if you’re trying to keep kosher as much as possible. Of course, it’s important to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds, but at the same time, you have to think about where you’re going to eat.Fortunately, seasoned Jewish travelers out there have shared tips on how to make trips fun and kosher at the same time.
Go to a Hotel Resort
During certain times of the year, particularly on Jewish holidays, some Jewish tour groups “convert” hotel resorts to cater to vacationing Jews. They prep the kitchens for kosher food preparation and invite special guests and entertainers.There are also other resorts that have year-round kosher programs, with facilities specifically for kosher cooking and dining.
Package rates for these kosher resorts range from budget-friendly to outrageously expensive, so go ahead and take your pick.
Stick to Major Cities
The bigger the city, the bigger the Jewish community. I mean, just look at New York or Paris. We love living in the world’s commercial hubs, after all.
Big cities also mean there are plenty of excellent dining options for you to choose from. Finding a synagogue won’t be a problem either. And if you’re one who loves history, well, explore away.
If you’re headed to countries that don’t have significant Jewish populations, you still have a good chance of finding a Chabad house in highly urbanized areas.
Hop On A Kosher Cruise
And if you’re prone to seasickness, don’t worry. You have another option: the kosher river cruise. Cruise lines like KRC can take you on trips to major waterways like the Mekong or the Amazon, complete with guided tours and outdoor adventure excursions.
Go ahead and get in touch with your travel agent and they’ll be happy to help you book the best kosher vacation of your life!
