Kosherica's PGA Passover was an Entertainment Extravaganza!

Our recent Passover vacation at PGA was a runaway success with stellar entertainment. The wide variety of acts included, fire acts, wild life shows, magicians, ventriloquists, comedians, casinos, musicians and so much more!

The across-the-board skill was so inspiring. I was particularly impressed by Edon from America's Got Talent. At only 14 his future is ultra bright. If you ask me he puts Justin Bieber to shame. The crowd was on their feet, mesmerized by his voice and passion. My favorite songs were the original renditions of Elton John songs.

Ventriloquist and America's Got Talent favorite John Pizzi was also a big hit. His set was both funny and edgy.

And I have to mention Fire and Ice Night. It was so great! I'm going to skip trying to put it into words. Take a look at the clip below and imagine yourself sitting close enough to feel the flames!

Splendid Eats at PGA Passover

The food! The food! The food!

Another amazing PGA Passover is behind us. The event was brought together by Kosherica, Leisure Time and Foremost Caterers. The buffets were gorgeous, pure sensory overload, filled with seemingly endless platters of fresh fruit, vegetables and salads. True indulgence and that was just breakfast and lunch!


The dinners were just...wow. There were entrees to fit every palate; meat, chicken, fish and vegetarian. The portions were huge even by cruise standards. Every meal was an event in itself. Families gathered together to enjoy the food, the service and the company of new friends. Is there anything better than that?

I suppose if there is a cherry on top of that sundae it's the nightly tea rooms. After the exceptional and bountiful dinners, guests were treated to dessert masterpieces on display in four distinct rooms that were designated as the "tearoom." The smell of chocolate wafted throughout the hotel. Following that delectable smell guests entered the tearoom to find crepe stations, fondue, gelato, cakes and hundreds of chocolates and fruit extravaganzas. The rooms were a perfect mixture of dreamy indulgence and creativity. One evening the tearoom was designed to resemble the tastiest candy, nut and fruit shop you've ever seen. Perfection!

We just experienced another great PGA Passover! The food was majestically  brought together by the excellent partnership of Kosherica, Leisure time and Foremost Caterers.  The buffets were extravagant feasts, elegantly assembled to make your eyes and taste buds water. They were filled with copious amounts of the freshest fruits and vegetables and the salads were incredibly well thought out. Each buffet had action stations that gave new meaning to indulgence. And that was just breakfast and lunch.
The dinners were AMAZING! We were offered entrees for every palate. Meat, chicken, fish, vegetarian. The portions were bountiful and beautifully designed.   Each evening was an event that the whole family waited for. Nothing is as  as satisfying as a delicious meal, great company and incredible service. All elements lined up each night.
The secret surprise was the extravagant nightly tea rooms. Everyone waited with baited anticipation to see the dessert masterpieces that were on display in a 4 rooms that were exclusively designated as the "tearoom". One could smell the Choclate throughout the entire hotel. Each night the tearoom had crepe stations, fondue, gelato, cakes, 100s of varieties of Chocolates and fruit masterpieces. The rooms were  jaw dropping masterpieces. I never saw anything so extravagantly elegant yet wonderfully indulgent...btw. We also had a day tearoom that resembled walking into the yummiest  candy, nut and fruit  shop. It was awesome!

PGA Program: It's Not Just for Adults

Our recent PGA program was incredible! Since it is not a ride we can restart we'll just have to wait (impatiently) for the non-stop entertainment, stimulating lectures, shiurim and kids programming to return.

My little one loved Kosherica/Leisure day camp. Every morning she pulled at my sleeve begging me to go. The majority of the counselors were young New Yorkers. They gave my daughter about a million hugs and got her excited about the fun games and activities they had planned for her. Each day depending on chol hamoed or Tom tov featured rock climbing, water slides and carnival rides. At 4:30 every day there was a kids show with magicians, animals, clowns and jugglers. It was like a Kosher Disneyland!

This was the first Pesach I felt truly comfortable leaving my child in camp so that I could have a little bit of mommy me time. In my case this meant attending lectures by M. Gary Neuman, Oprah's go to therapist, who discussed how to create better relationships. Additionally, Rabbi Mordechai Shifman proved to be a brilliant rabbinical scholar. He made the most difficult concepts seem easy to grasp. And Professor Mark Shapiro gave a wonderful lecture on Judiac studies. No wonder his classes always have a wait list!

I didn't study the whole time. I also went to my version of Disneyland-esque day camp: the spa! The deep tissue hot stone massage at the 5 star spa was dreamy. Walking from treatment to treatment in a plush robe made my worries melt away.
