My husband found the Midwest Passover Program online and was initially impressed with the inexpensive price compared to the other programs. But, it was our phone conversations with the incredibly charismatic and welcoming Rabbi Kushner that sealed the deal for us. And yet, we were still not prepared for the exceptional, unforgettable, enriching 10 days that we experienced. Although there was so much that made this Pesach unforgettable for us, there are three factors that stand out: The food; the other participants, especially our tablemates; and, above all, Rabbi Kushner. We have to start with the food, which was delicious, varied, and plentiful - not to mention that we had up to five meals a day with 5-6 wine choices at every dinner meal, actual cocktails at Kiddush, and unbelievable Chol Hamoed breakfasts with omelets, pancakes, “French toast,” and smoothies that would have been delicious even if they weren’t prepared for Pesach. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. We are especially grateful to Leah for seating us with other couples with whom we had the most wonderful conversations and who truly impacted our lives with their life stories and their shared knowledge and wisdom. We already look forward to hopefully seeing them (as well as others whom we met) again next year. But above all is Rabbi A.J. Kushner. As the reader can see from almost every review, this Rabbi is a true “Superstar.” There aren’t enough adjectives to express how much he did to make this Pesach experience so meaningful for us. And everyone we spoke to had their own story about how Rabbi Kushner went out of his way to provide a special, personal experience for each of them. We cannot imagine any other Pesach program at even twice the price that could have provided us a more positive, memorable experience. No matter what any other program has to offer, no other program has Rabbi Kushner. I would also like to commend the wait staff, who worked long hours, but were always friendly and accommodating. No matter what was asked of them and no matter how busy they were, they always responded quickly AND with a smile.
