We are a perfect example of why you should not judge others who choose to go to a Pesach Hotel. This year will be our second year attending such a program. I have been undergoing treatment for a back injury for over a year now (herniated disc that is sitting on a nerve root) and have problems standing in the kitchen even long enough to make a regular Shabbos. We have a special needs son with multiple health problems (we are a Chai Lifeline family). Last year, 5 weeks before Pesach, we found out that he had a spinal tumor. B’H, he is doing okay, but still has regular therapy and doctor’s appointments. My husband and I are both BT and do not have any Frum family near us. We are not on any kind of tuition assistance and we can afford to take a vacation. My husband works 60+ hours per week, and we would like to have family time together. We are on the West Coast, so we go to a hotel in the LA area. Last year Chai Lifeline gave us tickets to take the kids to Disneyland during Chol Hamoed and it was a ray of sunshine during a very stressful time. Would anyone like to make any snarky and judgmental comments about our Pesach plans?
