“I’ve been all over the world visiting sites that might be suitable for my Destination Bar/Bat Mitzvah clients. I select only those venues that foster both respect and reverence for this special time in a child’s life, and a sense of family bonding and adventure that will create cherished, lifelong memories.
Rabbi Barbara Aiello’s southern Italian location, her warmth and spirituality, and the many wonderful travel options in Italy, have made Calabria one of Bar Mitzvah Vacations’ most-requested destinations.”
Ellen Paderson
Recently I was privileged to spend several weeks in the lands bordering the Mediterranean. On a week-long cruise, I refreshed my knowledge of intriguing ports such as Barcelona, Naples and Monte Carlo, then enjoyed a stay in Italy that included Rome and Serrestretta, the charming Calabrian home village of Rabbi Barbara and her Jewish community. What a wonderful welcome from my valued Bar Mitzvah Vacations associate!
