With the abundance of luxury vacation packages now available to us, this might be a good time to review some of the more pertinent laws and customs pertaining to Pesach spent at hotels and resorts:

1) Although one may travel to ski resorts in Switzerland, Canada, and Colorado, it is preferable to celebrate the holiday in a warm climate, similar to that of Eretz Yisrael. It is proper, therefore, to participate in rabbinically supervised programs, such as “Torah, Torah in Bora Bora.”

2) In Hawaii, while it is customary to have a luau on the beach on the second night of Chol Hamoed, any other night is likewise permissible. Some make a sandwich out of roasted matza and pineapple.
