I enjoyed the program. It was improved over 2022 with addition of more speakers and daily activities. I disliked the way davening was set up. I and other women could not hear all of the services. I also thought that the room used was not a good fit. I could not see anything except for the open doorway a screen. I did not know when laining began and could not see the ark being opened etc… There was too much wasted food. The pieces of chicken, meat and sizes of fish entrees should have been smaller. The cooking staff should have cut the pieces of the above in half before placing them on the buffet tables. There was no way to take a small serving and I personally left parts of meals unfinished because I could not eat such large pieces of chicken etc…. The food was good. I found enough activities to participate in and also enough “down” time to just visit with friends or just read a book. I have no further ideas to share or suggestions for future programs My problems with the program reflect the venue more than the program itself. The Bertram Inn is convenient but it needs a lot of updates. I will address those issues with their corporate headquarters.
