Jewish
Travel companies can help you plan a vacation that takes your and your family's
Jewish needs and wants into consideration - from kosher dining to religious observance.
Not all travel companies have information about Jewish museums, Jewish historical
and cultural sites, and synagogues in the place of your destination. In contrast,
some Jewish Travel companies can help you plan a trip that focuses on Jewish
heritage. One company, European
Jewish Tours, offers guided tours of European Jewish history and heritage.
Thus, you can visit "Jewish London" rather than just London.
Jewish Travel companies can help you plan your trip around a simcha (lifecycle
celebration). Bar Bat Mitzvah Tours
has a variety of trips, to places such as Israel, Europe and Africa, that include
a bar or bat mitzvah celebration on the itinerary. The company offers free airfare,
hotels, touring and meals to the bar or bat mitvah child.
Jewish singles
trips, such as those offered by Jewish
Routes, are a fun way to meet other Jews from around the world who are in
a similar position, but who you probably would not have met in your day-to-day
life. Deb's Jewish Adventures offers
two types of trips for Jewish Singles. "Tushytoner Adventures" are physically
challenging trips, while "Cushytushy Adventures" include primarily leisure
and cultural activities.
Passover is a popular time to take a
vacation, given that staying at home means a lot of scrubbing and cooking. Some
Jewish Travel companies offer special Passover vacation deals. Afikoman
Tours offers Passover vacations in luxury resorts, and PassoverVacations.com
offers Kosher for Passover vacations in the sun of Southwest America and the Islands.
In a similar spirit, information about Sukkot vacation ideas can be
found on sites such as TotallyJewishTravel.com.
It isn't always easy to keep kosher on the road. With Global
Explorers, you can go on an African Safari or an Alaskan Wildlife Experience,
and enjoy Glatt Kosher meals at the same time. Likewise, Kosher
Cruises invites you to experience some of the most exciting parts of the globe
while enjoying superb Glatt Kosher cuisine.
In addition to all of the
above, Jewish Travel companies can provide information about the local eruv (Shabbat
fence), mikvot (ritual baths), synagogues, and Shabbat times.
So before
starting to plan your next vacation, it is worthwhile to surf through some Jewish
Travel sites.
