DON GIOVANNI
APRIL 26-MAY
the first time since he became more
observant.
"People who do not keep strictly
kosher feel comfortable on the cruise,
and the kashrut was good enough for
me," he said, "but the best part was
reuniting the family and spending the
holidays together."
At one point during last year's
cruise, according to Bernhardt, Jewish
passengers who were not part of the
kosher contingent asked if they could
participate in the Yizkor (memorial)
service, while another passenger —
an adult — celebrated his bar mitz-
vah with the group.
That kind of cohesiveness appealed
to Bernhardt, and to his teenage
daughter, who made friends from
Scotland and Ireland while on the
ship. For more information, check

And there's always Miami Beach.
Several hotels, including the Shelborne
— an Art Deco dowager that's been
tarred up for the jet set — offer com-
plete Passover packages. Check out

Head West
For something really different, Kosher
Expeditions offers a dude ranch
adventure in the not-so-wild West.
Participants can ride horses, go white-
water rafting and explore nearby
Yellowstone National Park. (The
ranch is just 26 miles away.) Call
(800) 923-2645.
Joel Weinberger, a Maryland resi-
dent, took his two daughters on the
trip in 2002.
"My kids got the experience of
being out there in rural America," he
recalled. All meals were glatt kosher,
served family style in the ranch's din-
ing room with several barbecues dur-
ing the week.
There's no roughing it, either. The
Kosher Expeditions' package includes
modern cabins with private baths and
maid service.
For something a little more laid
back, Club Kosher offers Passover in
Cancun at the Grand. Melia Resort,
which features golf, tennis and a five-
acre swimming pool.
During the Chol HaMoed (the
days between the beginning and end
of Passover), guests can enjoy a tradi-
tional Mexican party as well as
Orthodox synagogue services and lec-
tures. Children's and teen programs
also are provided. For details, go to
www.ClubKosher.com or phone
(866) 567-4372.
If you fantasize about paraffin
treatments, body wraps or tai chi,
there's Afikomantours' 10-day
Passover getaway in Scottsdale, Ariz.,
which features glatt kosher meals,
two seders and a kids camp at the
Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort.
There's even an eruv, allowing for
more unrestricted movement on
Shabbat. For more information, call
