Visiting Ancestors, Discovering Nazi Berlin
Why had the Nazis left untouched this massive testimony to a people they were determined to eradicate?
New Caribbean Synagogue Joins One Of The Oldest In The Hemisphere
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO---It's not everyday, or every year, or every decade, or even every century, that a beautifully-designed, 180-seat, air-conditioned synagogue rises in the Caribbean, let alone a modern Orthodox one.
Long Branch – A Kosher Destination Close To Home (Part I)
If you want a change of scenery and don’t have a ton of vacation days or don’t want to pack a passport, I would suggest Pier Village.
In The Land Of Milk And Honey – Two Great Places To Visit
This center wasn’t set up just to pat Israel on the back and show off its incredible entrepreneurship, it is meant to encourage future innovation among young Israelis.
Harmony Waters – Judea
Even if you are not Shwekey, and you want to come with your family, this is a nice place to spend Shabbat and unwind, or take a quiet hiatus from manic touring.
Airport And Tour Service Makes The Journey A Trip To Remember
Traveling to Eretz Yisrael is wonderful, regardless of how many times one has visited our land.
The Winter Break List
Below is a listing of many attractions that are open during January and February's winter break.
A Nickelodeon Family Vacation
Imagine taking the kids on an Orlando vacation without telling them where the family will be staying.
Machtesh Ramon
Machtesh Ramon is considered by some to be the most exquisite site on the planet. Located south of Beersheba in the Central Negev, not only is Machtesh Ramon the most spectacular geological sight in Eretz Yisrael, it contains within it some unique geological formations that are not found anywhere else on earth.
A Visit To Chevron
It is both disconcerting and reassuring to sit in a bulletproof bus. The double glass, which is impossible to really clean, doesn’t lend itself to photography, so I thought I’d relax on the journey.
Lake George And Gore Mountain
The Lake George area has a historical depth to it, is filled with natural beauty and has a whole host of fun for those with an adventurous streak.
Mission Impossible? Staying Comfortable at 35,000 Feet
Twisting and turning miserably for five hours, all I could think about was how I was going to survive an upcoming trip to visit my daughter in Israel.
The Stones, Fauna And Flora Of The Kotel
When we come to the Kotel we may be so engrossed in our tefillos that we don’t notice the numerous birds flying close by and the plants growing out of her stones. But the Kotel—spiritual home to millions — is built of stones that serve as the physical home for various animals and plants.
Pesach at the Kinar
The hotel was great, but the best part - the kids were kept so busy, we actually had a vacation!
A Trip To The Banias
The beautiful Banias Nature Reserve includes two main areas: the spring area and the waterfall area. And if it’s hard for you to choose which one to visit – choose both. They are equally beautiful and fascinating and a celebration of water and lush flora awaits you.
Boston
The Boston Public Garden is the first public botanical garden in America and dates back to 1838.
The Story Behind Maine’s Kosher Paradise
Most people in Bar Harbor at the time had never met a Jew.… I would bring latkes to my daughter’s kindergarten class and talk about Chanukah, and I arranged Purim parties for whatever Jews I could find.
Mohonk Mountain House And Minnewaska State Park
Stroll through formal gardens, ride mountain bikes, or go rock climbing.
New Hampshire
New Hampshire, also known as the Granite State, borders Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine and Quebec. It is a state with impressive mountains affording beautiful views, flowing rivers and magnificent waterfalls. New Hampshire is famous as a prime vacation area both in the summer and the winter. Although it is over a five-hour drive from most places in New York, there is a kosher hotel and several minyanim in the summertime.
Purim In Hong Kong
A traditional Purim in Hong Kong requires an obligatory visit to Pottinger Street in the bustling Central District. Also known locally as Stone Step Street, Pottinger Street is more of a steep, irregularly paved pedestrian stone path (with steps too small for Western feet) than a street. My children run ahead up the stone slabs as I carefully balance my size nine feet on the thin, uneven stairs. My five year old stumbles but quickly recovers and catches up to the big kids.
Jerusalem’s Waldorf Astoria Offers A Class Act
The hotel’s location is incomparable. You can see the old city from your balcony, and it’s a five-minute walk to the Light Rail.
Return To Jericho
I finally returned to Yericho, Jericho after ten years. The last time I was there, guiding tourists, was just before the Oslo War broke out in October 2000.
Yom Kippur and the Hidden Jews
Many believe that Kol Nidre was created in response to the conversos’ plight and their need to nullify their conversion vows.
Kutshers And The New Kosher Catskills
For Yossi Zablocki, Kutsher's was supposed to be there forever, as permanent as the mountains along Route 17. It was after all, for him and many others like him, much more than just a place to camp out for the summer and the holidays. It was an entire world - a brighter, greener, more tranquil world than the one he passed through each day as an attorney in lower Manhattan.
