As the coronavirus crisis spreads, many Jewish travelers are rethinking their plans for Passover vacations. Some are heeding the time-honored tradition of traveling to family, but others are embracing the recent trend of spending the holiday in hotels and resorts. Whatever the reason, it is important for travelers to understand how to keep halachic standards in mind when making these decisions.

The Top-Rated Passover Resorts industry is booming, with many tour companies taking over all or part of hotels and resorts to provide all inclusive Kosher Passover Vacations. These programs usually include all meals, as well as children’s and adult programming, and evening entertainment. They can be a great option for families who wish to avoid the labor intensive preparation of a home for the holiday, including cleaning it and shopping for kosher foods that are not used during the year. It is important to find out if the food at the hotel or resort will be kosher for Passover and to check that it is certified as such by a reliable rabbi or kosher supervision agency.

Once you’ve narrowed down your options, it is important to find out which rabbi will be approving the food and if it is a well-known rabbi. It’s also a good idea to find out if the rabbi is familiar with the specific hotel you are going to stay at.
