I'm not going to book till summer, and the the amount of points they ask depends on availability, was just asking a estimate for that time.

SPG always asks the same amount of points, no high and low season.

Could be, I never used SPG so far, but this is what they told me on the phone.

either take tea lights and put them on a sheet of metal foil....you can put them on the balcony if it's not windy and you're nervous though they will burn out by the time you've finished eating....

or light downstairs next to the shul where they usually set out tea lights for guests

balcony is probably not a good idea unless youre spending time there to derive pleasure from it

I need 45 rooms in Ein Bokek for this upcoming friday night (3/17). I can have them scattered, but I need group arrangements for a meal in a specific place.

Obviously, preference is for SPG.

Many thanks in advance.

Also, is there an eiruv there? Otherwise I will need to put all the babies at the same hotel as the meals.

Any help is appreciated. jhhhhh

I was thinking, it might possibly work if 1. one is the first to light and 2. he would have hana'ah from them by eating next to them. I would assume even if this works, one should still turn a light on in his room "lkovod shabbos". the only problem is though, how can one get food to the candles so that he may eat it there?

Even if one is the first to light there I don't think it would make a difference because he still wouldn't have hana'ah from them. Eating by them would probably turn out to be very awkward

.
As far as turning on a light in the room, that would be the best option and as per a psak from my Rav you can make a bracha on a room light with no problem. He even recommends at home turning on a light right before lighting the neiros as that's where the real hana'ah is.

You don't need to eat a full meal there, maybe just some papitas or whatever while standing nearby. The question is though how to get the papitas there.
