I have the following nights
Nov 26,27,28,29 ( $375.00 a night)
and Pesach March 30- April 6th. ( $500.00 a night)

If there is a period on 7 days that you need and it is available, I can add it.

Nights come with 50% off F and B

My first thought too.  And does that 50% off F&B also include Seders and/or Shabbat and Yom Tom meals? If yes, someone should run and buy this.  Pesach is beyond beautiful there.

That's amazing! Before, only chol HaMoed had standard rooms and now it's all the way through. It was truly a beautiful experience when we went last Pesach.

A bit OT, but is there any secret to accruing so many Hilton points beyond opening cards, e-Rewards, etc.?

The Amex Surpass gives 6PPD at Grocery stores for people doing MS and other categories for actual spend.  Also, for people that travel and spend money at hotels for business HHonors are by far the easiest to accrue (approx. $100 in spend will get you about 2500 points from a stay and an additional 1200 from the Amex, with the 12ppd bonus category on all Hilton spend).  Everyone belittles the value of HHonors points but if you are earning at 6ppd and redeeming at about 3/4 of cent, which is easy to do at this and other high end HHonors hotels, then they can be a much better redemption than many ones from SPG.

Thanks for the explanation.  I checked out the card - too bad the 6X categories are US only.
