Pesach programs in Palm Beach

Yes. We currently list Kosherica's Palm Beach program, under International Kosher Mehadrin with Rabbi Berel Simpser, from $15,790 per adult for the full eight days. Palm Beach typically carries one or two programs in a given year rather than a long list, so comparing early matters more here than in a deep market like Israel.

The program listed here opens at $15,790 per adult, with children usually 40 to 60 percent of the adult rate. Late April is high season on the Florida coast, which is most of the explanation. Before comparing it with anything else, establish what sits outside the rate — resort fees, the tea room and Chol Hamoed excursions are the three that most often do.

Palm Beach International (PBI) is the closest and the easiest, usually well under half an hour from the resort strip. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is about an hour away and Miami (MIA) about ninety minutes, and both are frequently cheaper on Pesach dates. Having three viable airports is a genuine advantage over most Pesach destinations, where there is only one.

Late April is warm and pleasant, typically around 27–29°C, before the summer humidity and rains properly set in. It is dependable enough that a pool or beach day can be planned for every day of the holiday, which is the central reason families choose Florida over a northern program in the same week.

Yes, and it is one of the real advantages of the area. Palm Beach County has a large established Jewish population with shuls and kosher food available outside the hotel. That changes the texture of the holiday compared with a resort destination that is Jewish for eight days a year and nothing the rest of the time.

The beach and the water are the main event. Beyond that, the Everglades and airboat trips are within a day's reach, the Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas are an hour or so south for a change of scene, and there is plenty of boating, fishing and nature walking closer in. Palm Beach is a destination for a holiday rather than an excursion base — families who want organised daily trips generally choose Orlando instead.

Ask directly. American resorts frequently host a Pesach program alongside regular guests, which is normal and workable but does change the feel of the holiday, especially on Shabbat and yom tov. If it is not a full buyout, ask which facilities are reserved for the program and at what times.

International Kosher Mehadrin, with Rabbi Berel Simpser named as the rav hamachshir. Confirm that he is on site for the full eight days, and ask the program directly about gebrokts, kitniyot and cholov yisroel, since those vary by program rather than by agency. Every listing on this site publishes the supervision, which is the whole point of the site.
