Lancaster, PA (And Hershey Park) Master Thread

[mb1]

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?

Amish are christian. Christianity is classified as avodah zara. There is an issur to study avoda zara, including lifestyle when the lifestyle is part of their belief system.

America is around 70% Christian. By that reasoning we could travel almost nowhere.

I think it was meant specifically regarding Amish tours, etc.

I don't know if it's still going on, but it was right outside the Shul.

Anyone planning to be near Lancaster on Chol Hamoed? Looking for some more people to make a minyan in Stevens Pa, around half an hour from Degel Israel shul.
Or if anyone knows of a chat for minyanim in Lancaster on Chol Hamoed. Looks like most hotels are solidly booked for those dates.

Congregation Degel Israel in Lancaster will once again be selling both Fleishigs (burgers, hot dogs, shnitzel sandwiches) and pizza and calzones in the evenings this summer.

Does anyone know if any hotels are super strict on the capacity? Coming with four kids and don't want to make a Chilul Hashem.

Hi,

From my understanding reading this thread, looks like Residence inn is the most and best option out there, near the shul, correct?

For a family with 3 kids and newborn, will one room work?

I only see Studio options, is it 2 rooms or only one

One room single or double beds with large pull out sofa bed. Great option indeed.

Hi,

So one big room for all? and One sofa bed for 3 kids (ages 12,6,3) is this the best option??

Do you lose a lot of the experience of Hershey Park if you're CY?

Huge room plus full kitchen and dinette with 4 chairs. Eden resort has two room suites but not the rest.
