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.)

That's because NMB isn't by the beach.
Or he's friends with Rabbi Marlow and not rabbi Korf 🤣🤣🤣

I disagree.

I think OP was speaking in a way that was intentionally judging others with a holier than thou attitude. It had nothing to do with Kashrush of Chabad houses and he brought it up in a way of saying anyone that goes to such places is going to a resort only a reform rabbi would allow.

And I think that leads to the responses that show everywhere is a problem, specifically because of how it was brought up by the OP in this case.
Guilty to a degree; the hyper focus on kashrus at highly problematic beach resorts is kind of glaring, but was really trying to bring it up to turn it into a constructive thread that can be a resource to help myself and others plan destinations , certainly not a bash fest to no purpose. Figured it deserves at least as much attention as the food kashrus one. As mentioned I did stay in South Beach (to visit a lonely relative) and highly regretted it so I’m just as guilty as anyone else.

I don't see why the need to knock down the observance of one mitzvah for lack of another, but if the point is just for tips, I'll merge into the existing thread.

For this reason I book a window seat whenever possible.  Much easier to avoid seeing things I don’t want to see even if they are right next to me.  I fly approximately twice a month.

What if you fly over the beach?

Great place for this thread - and the reason it's extremely popular - Banyan Tree Mayakoba.

Recently my friend pointed out how he felt much more comfortable on his Mexico vacation than his trip to Miami. And he's right.

Ok, some practical suggestions.

A. Non Beach destinations are obviously less likely to have issues. Excluding cold weather places like Antarctica ( :) ), you can go to places like the Canadian Rockies, Switzerland, Austria, etc.


Guess you didn't hear about the Polar Plunge...

Well Dan has said a few times that the Google ads that show up are based on your own activity.
