Topic Wiki

After hearing everyone coming home and talking about their flight issues, food issues, house issues, shul issues, program issues, kashrus issues, et al, I am more convinced than ever that building a dedicated full Pesach kitchen was the best investment I will ever make.

I have worked over Pesach in 5 star programs, gone to houses in Orlando and Palm Springs, etc. While there are certainly many nice aspects to them, there really is no place like home.

Anyone know more about the pesachcentral Pesach experience?  I see it's under $2000pp and based at the Hyatt near the huge Shul there (for the first days of Yom Tov) so it seems like a really great deal.

Meaning? Its 2 months to Pesach. Dont all the programs have hotels already? Seems a bit odd that places would only start advertising now?

They must have secured enough deposits to fund their own Pesach getaways early this year?
