Planning Pesach in Israel:
a first-timer's guide
Everything a family needs to know before booking a Mehadrin Pesach program in Israel, from timing to kashrut to choosing the right hotel.
For many families, spending Pesach in Israel is a dream years in the making. The Seder in Jerusalem, Chol HaMoed in the Galilee, and a whole community that feels like home. Here is how to plan it well.
Start early
The best programs fill up six to eight months in advance. If you are thinking about Pesach, reach out by January at the latest so you have the full choice of hotels and rooms.
Kashrut you can trust
Every Goren Tours Pesach program is Mehadrin, under a named rabbinate, shruya and legume-free. Our mashgichim are on site the whole chag and are happy to answer any question.
Choose the setting that fits your family
Some families love the beachfront energy of Tel Aviv, others want the quiet green of the Upper Galilee. We help you match the hotel to the ages and rhythm of your family.
