Two Sedarim, Ashkenazi and Sephardi minyanim, daily shiurim and Mashgichim on site from the first day to the last — the framework of a proper Chag, carried to the edge of the Atlantic.
Both Seder nights are included in the stay. The communal Seder is led by an officiating Chazan, who gives the evening its melody and its rhythm — the kind of Seder where the room sings together and the youngest are still awake at the fourth cup.
Families who would rather set their own pace can take a semi-private family Seder instead, at their own table, with the same texts and the same care. Handmade Shmura Matza is served on both nights, whichever you choose.
The hotel is kosherized in full for the program, under the supervision of Rabbi Eliezer Wolff, Dayan of Amsterdam. Glatt Kosher LeMehadrin throughout, with no kitniot and no gebrokts, and handmade Shmura Matza at the table.
Mashgichim are present on site for the entire Chag, not on call from elsewhere. That is the point of the arrangement: you should be able to sit down to any meal of the ten days without having to ask a single question.
Chol Hamoed nights are given over to the programme: cantorial concerts, a folklore evening with local music and dance, and sets that run from Hassidic to Oriental. It is the part of the week guests talk about afterwards — not because it is loud, but because the whole group is in the same room.
Every year Olam Holidays invites Rabbanim and Chazanim whose presence shapes the Chag — in learning, in song, and in the conversations that happen between the two. The names for Pesach 5787 will be announced shortly.
וְהִגַּדְתָּ לְבִנְךָ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא
And you shall tell your child on that day
