Thnku thnku!!! We are still on a high…:

We have just landed back home and are so thankful for an incredible, magical week. We feel so blessed to have spent pesach with our family, having memories that we will treasure and being in Greece was just a dream!
Just a few highlights: the boys snorkeling 🤿, the chazzanut, the inspiring shiurim, the tish after dinner, the dancing, the Solomon brothers, the food, touring the island, the view from our balcony, the kiddush’s (the sushi!!), happy hour by the beach and the endless latte’s and hot chocolate’s and being together friends and family!
Thankyou for such incredible memories!! Shabbat shalom, Chaim, Yael, Asher, Naomi, Adam and Noa Woolf

Our tour guide gave each of us the feeling of being accepted, valued and respected. And as an added bonus her enthusiasm and never-ending energy made it all seem effortless.

The Kosher Travelers – a wonderfully integrated group of 35 guests included participants from age 17 up to 74 — fearlessly climbed to beautiful vistas and geological marvels of this unique country. We visited waterfalls, glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, and lava generated dreamscape rock formations.    

Sailing out in a motorized rubber dinghy to see the largest glacier in Europe which Icelanders talk about as if it were an old friend or a venerable relative, we toasted our arrival with a shot of Floki – a local whisky, on the rocks – in this case a chunk of 500-year-old glacier ice.

Our fantastic knowledgeable guide, Yossi Ben Ami, was so enamored of the history and geology of everyplace we visited, that his enthusiasm became contagious. The waterfalls were lacy elegant streams falling from on high or thundering torrents rivaling the legendary Sambatyon River which rages six days a week and rests on Shabbos.

Our delicious meals were always beautifully presented usually in our own private dining room. For Shabbat we were treated to delicious meals at the Chabad house in Rejkavik, Iceland’s capital city.  Rebbetzin Mushky and Rabbi Avi Feldman were most gracious hosts. 

We flew up to Akureyri, known as the Northern capital of Iceland. A delightful small town, which boasts the northern most botanical garden in the world, traffic lights which feature a heart-shaped red light, and an airport runway in the middle of a fjord and a protected nature preserve know as the Black Castle where huge lava formations suggest birds, cathedrals, or whatever your imagination can conjure up.

On our last day we visited the Sky Lagoon – a heavenly Oceanside thermal spa. While there, after luxuriating in the relaxing warmth you can go in for the ‘Ritual’ treatment which starts with a dunk in rather cold water then continues with a salt/mineral scrub, a sauna and other delights.

The hotels were all well-located and comfortable. The other tour members from around the United States, Europe and Israel were a fun-loving, intelligent, cosmopolitan, amiable group.

Kosher Travelers has many other imaginative invigorating trips planned. Don’t leave home without them. Contact the company at koshertravelers.com.

As I hopefully told all of you personally, the highlight of our trip was to meet and get to know you all. Torah learning with you all was also an awesome highlight! Well done Kosher Travelers; Safe travels and many blessings, Debra and Denny

Dear David and Chana –

We want to thank you for hosting us and our children on an amazing kosher tour of Iceland this summer!!!  

You put together a non-stop thrill ride of exhilarating other-worldly experiences, taking care of all the logistics, transportation, guides, venue selections, scheduling and other details and catering to the interests of all ages in the family.  At the same time, you were able to customize the program to accommodate our own requests and suggestions, all seamlessly integrated.  All we needed to do was show up and we found ourselves climbing glaciers, riding snowmobiles, speeding through arctic glacial waters on zodiac boats, navigating through lava caves and hiking through the most spectacular scenery we have ever encountered.

You were always there to address any special needs that arose and we particularly appreciated your efforts to accommodate our various family members’ food allergies – and of course your arranging for Anthony to lein his bar mitzva parasha on his birthday!   You were both also great company and great hosts at all times.

Kol hakavod and we will be reminiscing about our Iceland trip with you for many years to come, always over a glass of Floki!

Best wishes,

Our Kosher Travelers Chanuka Dubai trip was exciting. The destination was like a mirage with all new buildings in many architectural styles. The people were very welcoming and genuine and seeing what has been achieved in a short 30-40 years as this city grew from nothing was amazing. Accommodation, kosher meals and organization was excellent. Kosher Travelers made it very enjoyable.
