Topic Wiki

-Use VRBO/Airbnb and rent a condo with a private pool

-Try to avoid the larger touristy locations. I.E., when travelling to the Bahamas instead of going to Nassua try a different, more secluded island.

-Try colder destinations (E.G. Canada, Alaska, Mountain areas, etc.)

-Even in warmer areas, non beach destinations are always better (E.G. Arizona, Utah, etc.)

So after all this debating. Can anyone advise if staying at the hr in Vancouver (downtown) is considered steering clear of pritzus but still seeing the beauty?

Even in Brooklyn you have pritzus, You just have to guide your eyes in the right direction.

Just saw this.  Not quite the direction I was expecting, but it works.  :D

Another totally off the radar spot but an easy drive from Baltimore and the NE is the North Carolina Outer Banks. If you are on an island facing the sound side you can have beautiful water views but not people in swimsuits and there are tons of uninhabited islands you can catch a ferry or boat to for private family swimming if you want.

Kashrus of exotic destinations- shemiras einayim
« Reply #116 on: July 27, 2022, 09:16:53 AM »
Belongs in a separate thread so here goes:

I think it’s pretty obvious that if an exotic location was touted as being shabbos friendly because there was a glatt mehadrin shabbos seudah at the Chabad house just an Uber ride away from the hotel it would be considered pretty bizarre.

It’s somewhat puzzling that there have got to be dozens of threads about the food kashrus standards
down to the smallest detail of which flavor Mehadrin hechsher WAJ uses. Just about every place under discussion is probably kosher on at least a deoraysah level. Yet there is almost no discussion of the kashrus shemiras einayim wise of various exotic destinations. If there was a hechsher for shemiras ainayim staying in a beachfront resort in the Bahamas would probably be certified by Rabbi Lisa Malik’s Temple Beth Ahm Hechsher at best.
בבא בתרא נז
ועוצם עיניו מראות ברע א"ר חייא בר אבא זה שאין מסתכל בנשים בשעה שעומדות על הכביסה היכי דמי אי דאיכא דרכא אחריתא רשע הוא אי דליכא דרכא אחריתא אנוס הוא לעולם דליכא דרכא אחריתא ואפ"ה מיבעי ליה למינס נפשיה

Perhaps a thread with some tips, locations, ideas etc. is in order. Going to Lancaster or the White mountains is obviously pretty high up there on the shemiras einayim list. As you go more exotic it becomes more difficult. There’s  Antarctica of course :) From experience staying in Miami away from the water can be very OK. Staying in or near South Beach is virtually impossible judging from the time I tried it.

I’m sure a heads up of what to expect in various destinations would be helpful to many.

Reminds me of a story my cousin told me.
She was swimming in her Miami apartment building's pool on chol hamoed pesach. A chasidish guy from the same building was swimming next to her. She invited him and his family for dinner. He declined because he doesn't "mish."

She thought it was strange because he'll go mixed swimming but won't eat with her. I thought it was amazing that even though he goes mixed swimming, he still won't eat with her.

It's much more subjective. E.g some people could have a problem just going to the airport.
