If you’re dreaming of the kind of wedding that gives you the time and space to make beautiful memories with the people you love most, allow us to introduce one of our favorite Jewish wedding venues near NYC: Crystal Springs Resort.

Nestled in the beautiful Kittatinny Mountains of Sussex County, New Jersey, just an hour from New York City, Crystal Springs Resort has long been known for its breathtaking scenery, luxurious accommodations, and exceptional hospitality. Now, the resort is taking things a step further with a reimagined approach to weddings as immersive, multi-day celebrations designed to unfold across an entire weekend.

Think welcome cocktails overlooking the mountains, a spa day with your bridal party, golf outings for family and friends, an unforgettable ceremony and reception, a lively after-party, and a farewell brunch the next morning. Rather than squeezing everything into a few short hours, Crystal Springs Resort gives couples the opportunity to create a wedding weekend filled with meaningful moments and quality time together.

Calling All Jewish and Jew-ish Couples: Take the Journey of a Lifetime to Argentina with Honeymoon Israel

27/05/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

Since October 7, so many of us have been grappling with what it means to be Jewish – and what we want Judaism and Jewish community to look like in our lives going forward.

I’ve lost count of the conversations I’ve had recently with Jews feeling isolated, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from the people around them. I’ve also heard from countless interfaith and multi-heritage couples trying to navigate complicated conversations around Judaism, Israel, identity, and belonging – often without much support from people who truly understand.

That’s where Honeymoon Israel comes in.

Honeymoon Israel – the nonprofit known for highly subsidized, transformative group trips to Israel – has launched a new Argentina experience where Jewish and Jew-ish couples can connect, build community, and explore one of South America’s most vibrant destinations together. 

More Than a Trip

At its heart, Honeymoon Israel (HMI) has always been about connection. Their immersive group experiences bring together Jewish and interfaith couples from the same city for a meaningful shared journey – one filled with thoughtful conversations, unforgettable experiences, and friendships that continue long after the trip ends.

Lots of participants haven’t felt welcomed in traditional Jewish spaces and have struggled to find a place for themselves – and, now more than ever, many are yearning for supportive, accepting, warm Jewish community.

Whatever your level of involvement, religious beliefs, or where you are in your relationship to Israel, you and your partner are welcome on an HMI trip, exactly as you are.

Participants arrive with all kinds of perspectives, and HMI doesn’t ask for alignment with any particular view of Judaism or Israel. What matters is curiosity, openness, and a willingness to listen and learn from each other.

Modern Judaica Must-Haves: Why the Pieces That Build Your Jewish Home Should Reflect Who You Are

20/05/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

There’s something so special about choosing the Judaica that will fill your first home together as a married couple.

The kiddush cup you’ll reach for on Friday nights, the menorah you’ll light each Hanukkah, the ketubah that will bring back happy memories of your wedding day every time you glance at it on the wall – all of these pieces and more are part of what shapes the atmosphere of a Jewish home. And while the Judaica that fills your home connects you to ritual and tradition, it should also feel like you. 

That’s exactly why we’re so excited to introduce you to Tchotchke, a design-forward Judaica brand creating pieces designed for modern Jewish homes.

Tchotchke was founded by husband-and-wife team Anna and Adam Paskow after planning their own wedding and realizing they couldn’t find Judaica that reflected their style – or the kind of home they wanted to build together.

They saw a gap: much of the category felt overly formal, ornate, or out of step with modern life. Their answer was a collection of Judaica that feels fresh, elevated, playful, and meaningful -designed to be lived with and displayed year-round.
