The Shabbos brief we send every family.
Before every Shabbos trip, each family gets a one-page brief from us — their specific hotel, their specific week, every practical question already answered. No translating the Shabbos protocol at the front desk as Shabbos is coming in.
The sample below is a generic version showing the structure. Real briefs are custom-built per hotel and per date. Leave your email and we'll send you the PDF template — no strings, no follow-up drip.
Sample structure
Inside the Shabbos brief
-
Times for your specific Shabbos
Candle-lighting, shkia, plag for a late candle-light option, havdalah.
-
Your hotel's Shabbos elevator
Which elevator, which floors, Friday-night start time, Shabbos-day schedule, motzei-Shabbos resumption.
-
Hotplate + food-readiness protocol
In-room or dining room, request deadline, how to request, cost (if any), Friday-night seudah join-in option if applicable.
-
Door and key arrangement
Mechanical-key backup, automatic-unlock windows, where to find the staff if you get locked out on Shabbos.
-
Walking-distance shul list
Five or six minyanim ranging across nuschaot and zmanim, with walk times, minyan styles, and notes on who would feel most at home where.
-
Mikveh addresses and hours
Men's mikveh (erev Shabbos), women's mikveh (night of tevilah if applicable), with distances and discreet-access notes.
-
Eruv status for your route
Specific hotel-to-shul walks checked against the current eruv map.

Enter your email and we'll send you the sample Shabbos brief (PDF). You'll also be on the list for a handful of emails per year on Jerusalem travel — never more than one every 6 weeks, never a sales pitch.
We never share your email. We never sell it. We never use it to market to someone else's family. Unsubscribe any time.
Or skip the brief and book a trip.
If you already know you're going — let's talk. The brief is a useful artifact for curious families; a booked trip is a useful trip.
