Hidden Gem Pesach Program

5.0/ 5

This was our second year at the Bertram Inn Pesach Program. Last year was good. This year the program was great! The food was excellent and overly plentiful. The cost was unbelievably affordable compared to other Pesach Programs. The davening, the speaker and the children’s activities were superb. We highly recommend this program and hope to be back next year.

Exceptional, Unforgettable, and Enriching

5.0/ 5

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.

Wonderful affordable program!

4.0/ 5

We came from Sunday, Chol Hamoed till shabbat after Pesach 2023. The welcome bag was a warm touch to the wonderful program. Leah was exceptional in trying to meet our medical diet restriction and accomodations. Breakfasts & grab a lunch during chol hamoed was amazing . The Yom Tov food was ample and tasteful, however my personal preference would be to offer undressed salads and sugarless meat & chicken sauces of a meditterean kind of cuisine. I was able to request and get plain salads with avocado and lemon/oil side dressing . I enjoyed the warm atmosphere and met wonderful people. I enjoyed the paint night, swim day & shlissel challah prep was so special. The hotel was of classy decor, rooms spacious and clean but the main bathroom, tearoom, hallways and stairways were left dirty from the children’s food debris. Hotel was short on cleaning staff. My family enjoyed it immensely and would consider coming BACK bh.

There are truly not enough words, I can say about this Pesach program. Me and my kids had such an amazing time. We have never been to one before and feel truly blessed to have been at this one. Rabbi Kushner, his family and everyone that was part of this program was wonderful. It was so wonderful that they accommodated what we wanted, one Seder with the group and one just our family. It was so special. The food was beyond delicious and always soooo much. Everything was always decorated so lovely too. The magic shows were so much fun. It felt like camp, the first couple days, everyone was friendly and by the end, we didn’t want to leave, as we made such special connections with so many. Rabbi Kushner, your family and everyone involved, you should be so proud of what you all did. It truly was a dream come true for us to be at your Pesach program. We hope to stay connected with all our new friends and hope IYH to come back next year. Thank you for giving us an experience we will never forget!!

I enjoyed the program, however I found the tea room always dirty and with no place to sit. Liquid hand soap should have been offered in each guest room. I mistakenly left a book and my reading glasses on the bed and the hotel staff wasn’t able to locate either one.

This is our fourth year going to the Agudas Achim Pesach Program. If there was an option to give more than five stars, we would! This program thinks of every detail to make your stay most enjoyable. The food was abundant and delicious, there’s a 24hr well stocked tea room, a 24hr children’s room with loads of toys and games. They offered a wide variety of entertainment throughout our entire stay, accommodating all ages and preferences of activities. Our children were sad when it was time to go back home- they said they wish it would be Pesach forever so that we can stay even longer! Thank you Agudas Achim for an incredible experience and long lasting memories!

Rabbi Kushner, is not only a great rabbi, he’s also a singer, entertainer, comedian, shadchan horse runner, Seder leader, and sometimes a speaker. I was touched by the special patience and interest he had in my ( down’s syndrome ) sister RB. Rabbi Schainbaum’s oratory skills combined with his vast knowledge uplifted our stay in a very meaningful way. His words before the Yizkor services were appropriate and appreciated. A special Thank you for the great masmidim program; for my 11 and 12 year old boys! Shout out to Reuven for learning with the boys! and thank you R Kushner for setting them up. R Kielski and his wonderful wife, had amazing patience in helping with the kashrus Questions and kitchen needs. it seems crazy that we drove in all the way from new jersey- but this was one special trip I don’t think we’ll ever forget! we’ve met so many new people and have made some wonderful new friends.

We were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of this wonderful Pesach experience, having attended for the first time this year on the recommendation of friends. The Yom Tov atmosphere was beautiful. The davening, the outstanding Drashos by Rabbi Sheinbaum, the welcoming and gracious staff, the delicious, plentiful, meals and the attention to every detail of what the guests needed, was truly amazing. Devorah, Leah, Rabbi Kushner and the rest of the staff ensured that we all were comfortable and happy. The elegant decor at each and every kiddush and meal, added so much to the time spent. The hotel was a very good setting with all of the parts of the venue, conducive to the many aspects of the daily schedule. The company was lovely with everyone extremely friendly. The organization and responsiveness at the time our reservations were being made was first rate. We appreciate all the tremendous time and effort that goes into making this program such a huge success.

Yesher Ko’ach once again to Rabbi Kushner and family for putting on such a special program that was replete with ruchnius, including wonderful Divrei Torah from Rabbi Sheinbaum, beautiful davening. Although there were many people, the atmosphere still had a homey feel, which Rabbi kushner and lovely family set the tone for. I enjoyed meeting down to earth people with tochein. The seudas were very much enjoyed by my family with child friendly food to choose from as well. My grandchildren enjoyed the many fun activities which the program provided, iincluding pony rides on chol o moed. Thank you so much to all of the staff who worked tirelessly to put on an A+ program!

Passover program

4.0/ 5

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.

Our 2 Seders were wonderful. We quickly befriended our table mates & bonded all week. Food was plentiful but was not quality level we expected with too much sameness especially chol hamoed lunches. We appreciate all the hard work that went into planning the week. The kitchen/wait staff were all super friendly, efficient & accommodating. More signage, clearer explanations & communications needed for first timers. We enjoyed the evening program with band/singers during Chol Hamoed. It was a relaxing week with activities nicely spaced out. Thank you for a lovely week.

First rate Pesach program

5.0/ 5

The food at this program was not only good quality and delicious it was abundantly plentiful. In addition the 24 hour tea room made snacking if desired always available. The facility was a grand resort hotel with beautiful grounds which included an eruv. While the hotel was a bit shopworn it was elegant, the rooms were spacious and meeting, dining areas and davening places were very comfortable. Various shiurim were held including daf yomi and programs such as short videos of interest for families. Some of the shiurim were given by volunteers who were guests who offered their expertise on subjects of interest. The facility had meeting rooms in the main building as well as in a spacious annex. Grand kiddush was held in the annex where a large collection of kosher l’Pesach cordials, wines and other alcoholic beverages were available as well as soft drinks. Fish, mezonos and other goodies made the kiddush cheery and bright. When the weather allowed the guests could eat outside at tables on the grounds adjacent to the annex. Everyone had a chance to enjoy and socialize. The davvening and laining were excellent. Rabbi Shainbaum delivered succinct drashas. He made his points but never belabored them. One of the best features of this program were the guests themselves. The guests made every effort to be helpful to others attending the program. I noticed repeated offers from guest to help the elderly or handicapped. They called it Midwest hospitality. And we found the children respectful of others. Of course the program planners made accommodations for the needs of children by providing them with a bounce house in addition to the various snacks that were always available. During chal hamoed we visited world class attractions in the Cleveland area. The Cleveland Museum of Art is one of the finest. Others visited the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame or the Museum of Fashion at Kent State University. Even though we found this Pesach program to be economical we felt in ranks in the top tier of experiences along with the most exotic advertised Pesach programs.

This program was so well planned and had the perfect blend of ruchniyus and gashmiyus. It’s been over 2 weeks since Y”T and we’re still talking about all the memories that we will carry with us for years to come.

Almost all aspects were splendid. Some minor complaints: 1) although the food overall was wonderful there were too many meat lunches, 2) lack of orientation signs on the outside of the building made registration somewhat difficult, 3) lack of a map of the building made navigation difficult, 4) the room we were in for the first community seder was much too noisy making the seder impossible to follow, 5) the food service for the seders was much too slow. Otherwise, organization and fine people made the experience pleasurable and meaningful.

5.0/ 5

We joined the Agudas Achim Pesach Resort for the last days of Yom Tov, as we wanted to be with our children at their home for the Seders.. We had an excellent time at the Retreat. We were received with wonderful warmth, from the point of checking in to the departure we were surrounded by excellent service from all the people working at the hotel. The food was excellent, plentiful and delicious. The atmosphere during the Seudot was very family oriented and yet was filled with Zemirot. The feel of the Seudot was in keeping with the Shabbos and Yom Tov Spirit. And the food as mentioned was delicious and plentiful. The wait staff and all the other staff in the kitchen served us with a smile. The Davening was at a very nice serious level. There speed of davening was fine, there was hardly any noise from anyone during the davening and the Yom Tov and Shabbos Niggunim were sung with great devotion and feeling. It was actually quite surprisingly good. Rabbi Laibel Scheinbaum would give over Divrei Torah that was to the point and effective. I was impressed with how well everything moved along. I couldn’t have asked for more or better. We would definitely return next year and would strongly recommend people who are thinking of plans for next years Pesach, to investigate this particular program. It was that good, that much fun, with an excellent blend of Yiras Shamayim and Simcha’s Yom Tov/Shabbos.

Pesach 2021

5.0/ 5

Our family had an amazing time at the Bertram Inn. It was so nice from the moment we arrived. The hotel staff was very accommodating. Our waitress Karen (for all our meals) catered to our every need. If your looking for good food, service, and convenience look no further. Thanks for a great and relaxing pesach 2021

Spent the first half of Pesach with my son and family at this wonderful program. Great accommodations, excellent and plentiful food but most of all lots of fun for the adults and children who ranged in ages from 14 to 4. Would definitely recommend !!

First time was a hit!

5.0/ 5

This was our first Pesach at a hotel. We weren’t sure what to expect. However, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel accommodations were 1st rate; spacious, clean rooms; all venues conveniently located; friendly, helpful staff. The food was delicious, plentiful and creative. Kudos to Tibor, Ray and Aaron. The davening was inspiring with many Baalei Tefillos to choose from. Being with family and extended family created the most leibidig meals that we ever experienced. Last, but not least, this program could not have worked without the tireless efforts of Rabbi AJ Kushner, Mindi and Devora. Their focus on the needs and wants of each guest was evident from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Next year in Yerushalayim (or 2nd best, Aurora).

5.0/ 5

The food was delicious and plentiful- the staff kind, helpful and accommodating. While low key- it was heimish and well done and the guests were friendly and nice. The kids had a wonderful time and found new friends. There are many wonderful activities for the family nearby such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Football Hall of Fame as well as shopping outlets, bowling, rock climbing, arcades and more. An excellent choice for a family Pesach and the price is most affordable! Rabbi Kushner is amazing and available to all for anything!

Superlative!

5.0/ 5

The people and the program exceeded all of our expectations. No detail was left unaddressed. Our group ( 20 people or the First Days and 35 for the Second Days – consisting of 4 generations/ ages 74 years to 2 weeks) had every need met, with grace, humor and speed! The food was consistently excellent and plentiful- with NO repetitions! We brought our own matzah and wine – but did not need to, because there were ample amounts and assortments offered. Rabbi A L Scheinbaum was inspiring and thought provoking, as always. Rabbi AJ Kushner was welcoming, effusive and the perfect host. I could not have been better!

A Pesach I wont forget – really spectacular

5.0/ 5

Had such a nice time with my family at this program. Spacious accommodations at the hotel, very cute activities over Yom tov that were family friendly, food was amazing. No shortage of good food, almost felt like I was going from one meal to the next. Probably the most affordable program out there. Everyone seemed so nice and genuinely enjoyed…wasn’t a bunch of uptight people, neilas hachag was very heartzig. Rabbi Kushner puts his heart and soul into running a spectacular program, super generous with everything. My whole family loved it and I plan on coming back next year

A great choice!

5.0/ 5

Our family of 3 generations attended the program for 2 years and it was a great choice! The whole time we felt well cared for and there was always something to do for all ages of the family. They had a tea room open the whole day with games and food and it was a great place to just sit and enjoy with everyone. Rabbi Kushner was especially helpful with the room accommodations for our big family and special request such as cribs and baby sitters for the children were handled with a smile. My entire family and I really enjoyed and I would recommend the program to everyone.

The very best value in a Pesach program. The people are friendly and the Davening is terrific. There are interesting activities for children and adults. There are accommodations for families, a “can do” service attitude. I can’t wait to go back.

My husband and I brought our children and grandchildren for the first days to the Pesach Getaway and it was amazing. The food was delicious and so much! The programming for the kids was also amazing. They had such a great time! The learning opportunities was also amazing and so was the socialization. We met so many wonderful people. We would be attending this year but we made Aliyah. I highly recommend this Getaway!!

Best Pesach Ever

5.0/ 5

Me and My Girlfriend at the time (Now Wife B”H) had such an amazing experience here over the holidays. it was such a nice family style oriented approach to pesach. Not like many of the other places do it. Here we got to really enjoy the Chag the way it was meant to be. We got to join in on the communal seder and really have such a wonderful time. the hotel was really top notch and the food and service were both so delicious as well.

We went to the Pesach program last year for the first time, we brought along extended family- a group of 26 people. From young to old, everyone had a wonderful time, the accommodations were great, there was entertainment for the kids, lectures for adults, delicious and plentiful food around the clock. Rabbi Kushner accommodated every special request and need that we had, he lead an amazing Pesach program. The atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable, we enjoyed ourselves and plan to be back again this year!
