Shabbos & Yom Tov
Do the kosher hotels in Jerusalem have a sukkah for Sukkos?
Yes. A kosher hotel running a Sukkos stay in Jerusalem provides a hotel-built sukkah for guests’ seudos — eating in the sukkah is the mitzvah of the chag, so a communal dining sukkah built to a hechsher-appropriate standard is a given. A private family sukkah is available at several of the hotels JRM books, but it has to be arranged several months in advance. JRM confirms each hotel’s exact sukkah setup — communal versus private, capacity, and that year’s Sukkos program — in writing before you book.
The communal dining sukkah is the baseline: a hotel serving frum guests over Sukkos cannot operate without one, since the seudos are eaten in the sukkah. What varies between hotels is the rest — whether a private or balcony sukkah is offered for a family that wants to eat on its own, the capacity, and whether the hotel runs a full Sukkos program that particular year.
Because a private family sukkah needs to be arranged months ahead and the details shift year to year, we confirm the specific setup for your dates and family with the hotel in writing before you commit, rather than assume it from a brochure.
