This Pesach, you can experience the perfect family Pesach experience The Inbal Jerusalem:
*No Kitniot*
*Guest Speakers*

*Swimming pool*
“Let’s travel to Israel with our entire family for Pesach.”
You could picture the awe on your teenager’s face as she davened for the first time by the Kotel, the Western Wall.
The shining face of your toddler as he experienced his first camel ride in the desert, dressed as Avraham Avinu.
The excitement your ten years old would soak up, as she walked through the Jerusalem Shuk Erev Shabbat.
Book the tickets!
Kol Hakavod (that is what we say here in Israel)!
Congratulations, that was an awesome decision. Traveling abroad creates a lifetime of memories for children as they familiarize themselves with new sights, fresh experiences, exotic foods and of course much-needed quality family time.
Nonetheless travel delays, together with jetlagged, bored, overtired and cranky children can make traveling with children a challenge.
Kosher Travelers are here to help!
Throughout our years as parents traveling with our own children and as professional travel operators, we have discovered the highs and lows of travel.
Insider tips for traveling with kids and enjoying it!
Here is what we learned as Kosher Travelers:
Be Realistic
Traveling single or as a couple, is a completely different experience than traveling with small children and or a family.
Your kids will not think the 45-minute walk home from the Kotel, through the streets of Jerusalem is magical. (But we know it is 🙂 )
Keep in mind, that your ultimate goal is to create an enjoyable and stress-free experience for everyone.
2. Book Accommodations
Choose your accommodations wisely.
What are your priorities?
Location?
Size?
Comfort?
What are amenities at the hotel “must haves” for your family?
You will enjoy the free breakfasts, housekeeping service, and lobby. (no cleaning up and doing dishes for you)
Your kids will love free wifi, space to kick around a ball outside, a pool, a game room and a kids club.
Hotels and their facilities make your family travel trip so much more enjoyable.
3. I’m Bored - planning the perfect itinerary
Now, that you have secured your accommodations, begin planning your trip.
A good place to start your research is on the internet.
Different travel websites can help you structure the basics of your itinerary.
Yes, there is snow is on the ground and we are only in March, but, David and Chana Wallas are already preparing for the Kosher Travelers Summer Luxury Experience in the Italian Alps.

Chol Hamoed Tiyulim
For those that are planning Chol Hamoed "tiyulim" make sure to include the Majrasa.
The Majrasa is a fantastic water hike located off route 92. A bit of a challenge as walking through the river is a bit rocky. Don't forget your bathing suit and "floaties" for the kids as there are parts along the way for swimming.

An African Safari vacation is on the top of millions of bucket lists.
Traveling with your family on an African Safari and showing your children the wonders of wildlife is a rewarding experience.
Traveling with your family means that you must be even more organized and prepared.
Next week, David and Chana Walles are traveling with their children to Africa joining Sivan Ya’ari and Innovation: Africa. Innovation: Africa proudly applies Israeli solar technologies to bring clean water and electricity to rural African villages.
Following the mission, the Walles family, will be experiencing first hand a Kosher African Safari.
What’s In Your Bag?
Chana, a seasoned traveler, swears by packing lists.
“Over the years, I have forgotten essentials at home.
Frustrating.
I created a set of packing lists that I now use whenever I pack.
Frustration eliminated.
Now, my luggage and handbags are organized and I am ready to relax on vacation.”
Here is Chana’s list of the ten most important things you need to pack in your handbag on an African Safari.

10. #wetravelkosher
Even if you are traveling with a kosher tour like the Walles family, always remember, to pack kosher snacks in your bag.
It can be a challenge to find kosher food along the way. You will be so happy to pass your kids a granola bar or snack or some almonds.
Carry your Tefillat Haderech card along with a pocket siddur and proud Israeli citizens always travel with our Israeli flag.

What's In Your Bag?/ African Safari
Camera and Video Equipment
Africa is a dream destination for photographers both pros and rookies. Beautiful landscapes, outstanding light, sensational wildlife make Africa so photographic.
Don’t miss out. Buy a camera, if you don’t already have one.
It is a good idea to bring your own flashlight or two.
Flashlights can lead you back to your tent in the middle of the pitch black night.
A rechargeable flashlight is ideal but a small battery-powered torch is sufficient. The new LED miners lights fits right on your head and frees up your hands.
A smaller flashlight for emergencies or looking at star maps is also worth considering.
Bonus Tip: Pack Non- Electrical Entertainment Items
Most of the day is spent on long rides. Don't rely on electricity.
Make sure you are prepared.
Take along playing cards, good books and your travel diary.
We recommend that you and your children chronicle your adventures in a travel journal.
