A travel agent for over 22 years, Ellen was among the first to embrace such concepts as Destination Weddings, now a major focus of her business. In 2007 she created a subsidiary, Bar Mitzvah Vacations, to provide a relaxed alternative to elaborate and costly Bar/Bat Mitzvah events.
Taking place on cruise ships and in resort areas worldwide, Bar/Bat Mitzvah Vacations appeal to a broad range of families, including those of mixed religious background or heritage, as well as those with special needs. Bar Mitzvah Vacations is today the premier choice of families celebrating their child’s coming of age with a Destination Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
