How to use this page
Every program here shows four things before you click: the rav hamachshir, whether the kitchen is gebrokts or non-gebrokts, the hotel it actually runs at, and a real price band. Most kosher directories make you request a quote just to discover whether a program is in your range. You should be able to rule programs in and out from the table above without speaking to anyone.
Filter by destination, organizer or budget, narrow to non-gebrokts or non-kitniyot kitchens, or sort by price. If you would rather answer a few questions than scan a table, the 60-second quiz narrows the catalogue for you.
Choosing between destinations
The largest single decision is usually geography, and it is mostly a question about flights.
- Israel — the deepest market and the only place where the whole country is keeping Pesach around you. Most affordable on room rate; flights are the variable.
- The United States — wins on total cost for American families, because a drive replaces six peak-season tickets.
- Greece — where privatized five-star buyouts are most reliably available, at a short flight from Israel and Europe.
- The Caribbean and the Far East — the top of the market, on price and often on facilities. Long flights with children are the trade-off.
Compare totals, not headline rates. With children at 40 to 60 percent of the adult rate and flights excluded from every published figure, two programs that look a thousand dollars apart frequently are not.
Before you commit
Read the twelve questions worth asking before you pay a deposit, and what a program actually costs if you are still calibrating your budget. If you are not yet sure a program is the right call at all, we wrote an honest breakdown of when it is and is not worth it.
Using this site, the quiz and the quote service is completely free.
