This program is truly something special! The wait staff, the director, and the chef & kitchen staff go way beyond what they are capable of to give everyone the food/diet they request. I am sure they all need a month to recover! The program is excellent, with inspiration from Rabbi Sperlin of Los Angles. This year there were outdoor yoga classes for women that were awesome. In addition, a number of other classes were given that inspired us, as well as deeply moving personal stories told to the entire olam on shivi'i shel Pesach, the seventh night of Pesach. It was a 5 minute walk to the beautiful Ventura, CA, beaches. The food was plentiful and delicious, and, as I mentioned, the staff worked overtime and then some to satisfy a diverse crowd with many unusual dietary needs. I commend them and wonder how they did this. We had the use of the entire hotel, so switching rooms when needed was easy and allowed everyone to feel relaxed. As a result, the participants enjoyed getting to know each other in this environment and felt very at home. Kudos to Director Dovid Yerushalmi, that worked morning, noon and night to keep everything going, to Rus Devorah Wallen, the program director that did a wonderful job, and to all the other staff.
