Frum Jewish families, numbering about 500 people, spent an inspiring and uplifting Pesach holiday in the scenic Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
Guests from across the country and Canada gathered to spend Yom Tov together at the second Pesach resort organized and hosted by FFH Events. It had a complete sell-out.
FFH is titled after the surnames of its partners Shloime and Alyson Feldman, Levi Feigenson and Motti Hershkop.
“We set out to build a Pesach program that was more affordable than what is currently available,” said Alyson Feldman, host.
“However, we wanted our guests to have it all, as well. We accomplished just that with our combination of delicious and plentiful food, top notch programming, and accommodating staff.”
Event Directors were quick to also point out that the real credit for the unforgettable Pesach holiday “goes to our wonderful and friendly guests who truly led to the heartwarming and heimishe atmosphere.”
The talented and renowned lecturers Rabbi Shais Taub, Rabbi Yossi Gordon, Rabbi Chaim Miller, Rabbi Asher and Sara Esther Crispe, and Rabbi Yaakov and Malka Werde, added much depth and spirituality to the program.
There was something for everyone, with some guests still wanting to hear more well into the night. As an added bonus, guests were treated to beautiful chazanus throughout the Yom Tov by singer Shlomo Simcha.
The lineup of entertainment featured superstars Eli Marcus and Shlomo Simcha. The programming also included an illusionist, photo booths, and heartwarming Havdalahs by Moshe Hecht and Mendy Wertzberger.

Children’s events featured a bubble show, talent show, fire jugglers, cotton candy machines, smoothies, game rooms, activity centers, bonfires, balloon animals, prizes and a fantastic day camp.
Throughout Pesach, all were wined and dined with gourmet meals, abundant desserts and a plentiful 24-hour Tea Room by Table One Caterers by Levi Feigenson. The lavish gourmet menu, under the supervision of Rabbi Elie Matusof, was enjoyed by all.
The kitchen staff featured Table One’s top chefs, complemented by the talented Mendel Kagan and Schneur Werde. The professional and attentive wait staff enhanced the guests’ Yom Tov.
Some of the most memorable moments included the talents of Eli Marcus in concert with gifted singer Shlomo Simcha, that left guests chanting for more.
“The concert truly felt like we were all together celebrating a family Simcha,” said Shloime Feldman, host.
A highlight of Yom Tov was the lively and emotional Moshiach Seudah, with words of inspiration from Rabbi Taub and Rabbi Gordon, which lasted well past the Z’man, while everyone continued to sing, dance and celebrate.
FFH coordinators have been inundated with many thank you notes and calls from gracious guests thanking them for their efforts and attention to detail that led to a wonderful Pesach experience.
A guest mentioned, “This wonderful Pesach I met so many new friends, and I didn’t want it to end, it felt as if we were at overnight camp for adults. We do not know who had more fun – the children or the parents.”
“There are no words to describe how amazing this experience was for our whole family,” shared another grateful guest.
“FFH set out to make each guest feel comfortable and part of the FFH family, and thank G-d, that was accomplished, with many guests asking when registration for next year will be open,” Shloime Feldman said.
