If you are looking for a special getaway this winter, consider planning a Hanukkah getaway. Many resorts offer packages and excursions specifically for Jewish travelers.
Here are six fun ideas that caught our eyes.
1. Celebrate in Israel. Save $400 through Travelzoo when you travel to Israel over Hanukkah with Israel Vacations. For $995, travelers can go on a seven-night trip exploring old cities, touring Jerusalem and Galilee, staying and dining in the Dead See region and more.
2. Or plan your own Israel excursion. The weather is great in Israel this time of year, so you can go on a hike, walk around town, visit historical paths and spend time in nature. If you’re looking for lodging, consider staying at a Riminon Hotel.
3. Celebrate close to home with a “staycation” in a nearby city. Treat yourself to a stay at a new hotel, and save money on it by booking through ChoiceHotels.com. Check out these ChoiceHotels.com coupons and pair them with 4 percent Cash Back from ShopAtHome.com.
