Very interesting. FYI most Poskim don't have a problem with going to tour.

I find it daring of him to say at 5:15 that "I'd rather you should have חלב סתם than going there"

I'm just raising awareness for people to AYLOR

Hershey area is relatively close to Harrisburg

Yeah I know. Was wondering if anyone had a hotel recommendation for the area. A lot of the reviews online for the area seem pretty parve... Was wondering if anyone had any good experiences.

A bit far, but I stayed at a Residence Inn in Reading PA. Very nice people, and brand new property

They updated to show if enough tourists then they'll have 10-minutes before shkiya

The Rabbi is an Orthodox Rabbi, has Smicha from YU and is not "Open Orthodox" so I would think it is reliable.

Having gone to Yeshiva with his brother, I'm fairly certain he is more "Orthodox" than "modern".

I will be in Lancaster next week staying at the doubletree. Anybody know of any minyanim being organized there?

Also, I see on Degel Israel’s website that they are selling burgers and hot dogs each night. Is that still going on or has that ended already? It seems that pizza has ended. What other food options are available there?

there was minyan this week and you will probably also have in the beginning of next week.
The grilling still went on this week every evening 5:15-9:45 but I’m not sure about next week. There’s an email on the website to ask questions.
