“We can’t stop talking about and reminiscing about our Pesach vacation at Nof Ginosar with Kosher Travelers. It was the perfect family retreat, everyone had something to do while we were all together. Kids had the run of the world in this beautiful pastoral setting,( not to mention the gorgeous pictures that were facilitated by this extraordinary background) The adults loved sitting outside together schmoozing and enjoyed the inspiring and insightful lectures that Rabbi and Dr, Yael Ziegler delivered. We looked forward to the meals, the food was delicious and abundant, hard to believe it was Kosher L’ Pesach!! Our evenings were also entertaining as the program offered activities which were much enjoyed by all of us. We miss those days and look forward to our next trip with Kosher Travelers!!”

David and Chana,

Thank you again for an incredible program and meaningful Pesach. I truly appreciate your kindness in inviting me to join you and your family for Shabbat meals. It was fun!

I would love to continue our marketing conversation. I am happy to speak to any person to tell them how wonderful the program was and help in any way with Guest Relations (I can handle tough personalities with ease 🙂

 Both of your passion and understanding/expertise in this business is evident.  You took care of every detail and it showed. It made a huge impact on the my family’s chag.  

Thank you again.

Shabbat Shalom.

All the best,

Fantastic videos Adina! And Rima thank you for taking all of us on the lava tunnel tour with you. From all the great photos it looks like the last 2 days were amazing. We appreciate and thank Kosher Travelers for an excellent and fun tour
It was so great to have adventures and learn Torah with everyone! I hope we meet again. Safe travels home.

To David and Chana,

Thank you so much for such a wonderful vacation to Batumi, Georgia in August 2022.  It was truly a pleasure to not have to worry about a single thing!! The delicious food and wonderful company only made it better. Chana, you are a master at taking care of people and paying attention to the little details.  We definitely hope to be able to travel with you again sometime soon.

Lori and Seth Gerson, Chashmonaim, Israel

Hi David and Chana. I don’t underestimate the huge (understatement!) amount of work that goes into making sure things look smooth on the surface of an event like this. You are both consummate pros and we have huge respect for your professionalism. Your kids are a true credit to you, especially Ariel who we dealt with the most. He has inherited your calm veneer and can-do approach to any challenge thrown his way. Nothing flusters him – he is polite and charming at all times, and his calm is contagious, even when challenges do inevitably pop up. Thank you for making Pesach so special for mum and our family. We made beautiful, precious memories together, which we will look back on for years to come.
Shabat shalom to you all back in Rhodes. ❤️

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.

Dear David and Chana,

I’ve been to Israel for Pesach with David Zwiebel & family dozens of times, in many cities and various hotels. I can say with confidence that this year’s chag at the Leonardo Plaza ranks with the very best experiences over the years. From the wait staff to the terrific Mark Salem it was a great Pesach and the variety and quality of the food excellent. Yasher koach.

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.
