Passover in Israel

An interesting phenomenon has developed over the last 5 years. For Passover, the "Dead Sea" has become the "Miami Beach" of Israel. All the "anglos" and families that come from abroad, do a minimal cleaning of the house, then they lock their doors, pack up the car, and drive off to the fancy 5-star hotels of the Dead Sea. And there they spend a week doing the same activities their counter parts are doing in Miami - indulging in 3 gourmet meals a day, swimming in the pool, treatments at the spa, oh and of coarse, going to shiurim. The Dead Sea has become "the place" to be for Angols over Pesach.
I also heard of another "in place" for Anglos to be for Passover in Israel. For 18 years Eddie Freudmann has been running the passover vacation at the 5 star Sheraton Moriah Plaza hotel in Tiberias. Many Anglo families people have made this their Pesach home and have come back year after year.
