+1 looking to go in January , would love some ideas about how to get there from NYC in J, and where to spend shabbos?


There are many options from NYC. To list a few: CX, CZ and SQ.
There's Chabad there: https://www.chabadbali.org/ (For security purposes; you may have to submit Photo ID etc. showing that you're jewish, before they disclose the location).

Pretty sure that's not an "official" Chabad location.

They don't have an official restaurant, they only give food on Shabbos.

They're in the Beach area.

I'm not sure about that. It may not be listed on Chabad's website for security reasons.
I know that they are affiliated with Chabad of Singapore, Hanoi and Ko Samui.

My bad. Just confirmed it. The lack of mention on Chabads site plus the non Chabad template site and the previous sketchy Jewish situation threw me off.

The Rabbi / shliach of Singapore told me that They sent the shliach to Bali.
Only 5 religions are legally recognized in Bali so they are careful. Mind you,  when we were there on shabbos the shliach of Bali was dancing in front of his house with some Israeli guests.  Looking Jewish/ Frum and singing shabbat songs. He also has a Mashiach crown on his mail box outside the home.

 Dirta +62 877 6285 1185 (whatsapp) drove us around in Bali. Traveled with a family 3 adults and 3 young children. His van was big enough and his rates were very reasonable. I think the average 1/2 to full day price was in the $40- 60 usd . If he is not available he sends a friend. His friend was very good as well. They both speak english well.

Most people over there don't know what "Judaism" is (Yes, I asked dozens of people there). So, they aren't concerned about the locals seeing them.
But, they do want to keep a low profile in the larger picture, so the higher officials don't find out.

As the time gets a bit closer, I'll have to ask you for advice on activities, although since I'm going w/ 3 little 'uns, I'll be more limited.

Was there in that time period, but spent time in Ubud and north rather than the beach towns. Did airbnb villas.
Went with young kids.

I was in Bali and the gili islands during the first 2 weeks of November 2018. flew over from phuket. a little bit rainy in the morning but from 10 am to 12 it would clear up for the rest of the day. i was in ubud, kuta and uluwatu. did all airbnbs. stayed right on Padang beach. spectacular views. You will have a wonderful time.

Completely safe. Bali is a Hindu island in a Muslim country. No one there will find you as much as a weird look.
