The Kosher Travel Club, a joint production of Eddie's Travel and Shai Bar Ilan Geographical
Tours, invites you to a most intriguing tour of Croatia, Slovenia & Montenegro, three
countries that were once part of Yugoslavia. They all lie along the Adriatic coast where the
climate ranges from coastal Mediterranean to dry inland. Our tour visits Slovenia,
bordering of the Julian Alps with its charming natural sites such as Lake Bled and the
stalactite caves of Postojna. Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital, looks to day the way it was built
from the start - as a typical city from the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. We'll also
visit Montenegro the "Black Mountain" with its amazing scenery and wondrous coastal
inlets and bays. Croatia, the third country on our tour, is home to Plitvica, arguably the
most beautiful nature reserve in the world a stunning combination of waterfalls and
lakes, lush undergrowth and unique natural surroundings, created by the water into the
spectacular Karst rock that is indigenous to this part of the world. The city of Dubrovnik is
built on a peninsula that fiercely guards its port. Its Old City is built on ancient Roman
ruins, and dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was ruled by the Kingdom of Venice.

day before the start of the tour. Special hotel rates are available for tour participants

Kashrut on Tours

Kosher food is provided to our travelers on all our tours. We work with the local Rabbinate
to provide Hashgacha for all local ingredients and fresh meat and poultry. In some cases, we
fly in kosher food from Israel and other sources, depending on the destination of the tour.
We do not guarantee Pat Israel and Chalav Israel for all destinations.

In many destinations we have our own crockery and cutlery. Where we don't, we provide
disposables at the meals. When we cook in Hotel kitchens, we ensure proper Kashering and
we use our own kitchenware on kashered and covered surfaces. All this is done under the
strict supervision of our trained staff/guides who function as our Mashgichim.

Our travelers enjoy gourmet meals prepared by our team including fresh local fish, fruit, and
vegetables. This is an integral part of Jewish travel. We make great efforts to assure that our
travelers will experience local foods first-hand, while maintaining stringent observance of
Kashrut laws on all occasions.

Rabbi Menahem Fogel

A native of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Menahem Fogel served as a pulpit rabbi in South Africa and
Canada before returning to Israel in 1984 to take up the position of spokesman of Yad
Vashem, in Jerusalem, a position he held for six years.

Since that time he has held senior positions in both the public and private sectors developing
interactive computer systems for museums around the world. He also lived and worked in
the USA, Netherlands, Austria, UK and India. A lifelong yearning for travel led to his
becoming a Tour Manager in 2000 and developed expertise tourism to Japan & China,
Alaska, Canadian Rockies and Africa. Recently he took on the added role of Rav Hamachshir
for The Kosher Travel Club to ensure the highest standards of Kashrut are implemented on
all our Kosher Tours.
