East Coast & Theme Parks Family Tour
Glatt Kosher Tour


August 11 - 23, 2011

 
The East Coast of the United States is filled with historical, natural and entertainment sites for the whole family. From the overwhelming power of Niagara Falls to the deep pit of "ground zero" where the twin towers fell; from the heights of the Empire State Building to the pride of the Statue of Liberty; from the grandeur of the White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC to Liberty Bell in Philadelphia; from the wonderful world of Walt Disney to the magic of the Epcot center in Orlando – this tour turns the American experience into an amazing family adventure.

We'll continue to Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants arrived to the New World at the beginning of the 20th century. As we tour the city on our bus, accompanied by an Israeli and a local guide, we'll view many of the famous sites in Manhattan; Ground Zero where the Twin Towers once stood proudly. We'll drive along new York's famous Fifth Avenue, and pass the United Nations building; we'll see Lincoln Center and Central Park, Times Square and the Rockefeller Center; Harlem and little Italy; Wall Street and Chinatown.

Then we'll continue into Pennsylvania, to Amish country, and overnight in Lancaster.
Day 6, Tuesday: Lancaster – Washington DC

Kosher food is provided to our travelers on all our tours. We work with the local Rabbinate to provide Hashgacha for all local ingredients and fresh meat and poultry. In some cases, we fly in kosher food from Israel and other sources, depending on the destination of the tour. We do not guarantee Pat Israel and Chalav Israel for all destinations.

In many destinations we have our own crockery and cutlery. Where we don't, we provide disposables at the meals. When we cook in Hotel kitchens, we ensure proper Kashering and we use our own kitchenware on kashered and covered surfaces. All this is done under the strict supervision of our trained staff/guides who function as our Mashgichim.

Our travelers enjoy gourmet meals prepared by our team including fresh local fish, fruit, and vegetables. This is an integral part of Jewish travel. We make great efforts to assure that our travelers will experience local foods first-hand, while maintaining stringent observance of Kashrut laws on all occasions.

Rabbi Menahem Fogel

A native of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Menahem Fogel served as a pulpit rabbi in South Africa and Canada before returning to Israel in 1984 to take up the position of spokesman of Yad Vashem, in Jerusalem, a position he held for six years.

Since that time he has held senior positions in both the public and private sectors developing interactive computer systems for museums around the world. He also lived and worked in the USA, Netherlands, Austria, UK and India. A lifelong yearning for travel led to his
becoming a Tour Manager in 2000 and developed expertise tourism to Japan & China, Alaska, Canadian Rockies and Africa. Recently he took on the added role of Rav Hamachshir for The Kosher Travel Club to ensure the highest standards of Kashrut are implemented on all our Kosher Tours.
