Advertorial by Tova Roth
August 12, 2010 -- This summer from August 1-8 Kosherica, the family-run glatt kosher cruise and tours leader since 1992, invites you to come aboard a luxurious cruise ship to celebrate the best of Jewish music for its Jewish Music Festival at Sea, featuring performances by Dudu Fisher, Avraham Fried, Lipa Schmeltzer, Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot and others.
The all-inclusive tour will take you across the waters of the Atlantic Ocean to Canada and New England, with ports of call in Bar Harbor, Maine, the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, and Halifax, Novia Scotia. For the first time, the ship will leave and return to port in Bayonne, New Jersey, allowing tristate-area residents the convenience of a local port of call.
The cruise offers daily minyanim and shiurim by Rabbi Steven Weil, executive vice president of the OU, and Stephen J. Savitsky, OU president. Rabbi Weil, a gifted lecturer, is the former rabbi of the Young Israel of Oak Park, Michigan, and of Beth Jacob Congregation in Beverly Hills, Calif. Mr. Savitsky travels widely to Jewish communities in North America and Israel, bringing the OU's message. The Celebrity cruise ship features a conservatory by a world-renowned designer, an impressive aqua spa and therapeutic pool, steam rooms and saunas, and fully equipped gyms with the latest exercise equipment and classes offered every hour. Children will experience hours of fun at The Fun Factory Club, a supervised area outfitted with a jogging track, video arcade, and hours of activities.
Kosherica's food, as always, will be top-notch, carefully prepared to the highest caliber by culinary teams trained by Chef Arik Porat, of the Dan Arcadia in Israel, under the directorship of Offy Schiffman. All meat dishes are glatt, and all dairy dishes are chalav Yisrael. Dishes will span international cuisine, with fish and vegetarian options for the entrée at every meal; special requests such as no salt or low fat will be honored.
As for the cruise's main attraction, Jewish music will permeate the air at every turn, with concerts by Fisher, Fried and Schmeltzer. And Cantors Helfgot, Benzion Miller, and Daniel Gildar will participate in an exciting liturgical concert. All the seaside stops on the tour are rich in history, replete with museums, lighthouses, art galleries, and the rustic beauty of nature, offering an extraordinary experience on land to complement your adventures at sea.
