Rooms & accommodation
Bergen, NorwayKashrut & dining
The Bayit Kitchens are kashered by KOA Staff according to Strict Orthodox halachic standards used by the major US Kashrus organizations.
As we are renting large chalets where we will have exclusive use of fully-equipped Á‚ kitchen facilities throughout our stay, any cooking and serving utensils that belong to the chalet, that have not been koshered under KOA supervision, will be either removed totally from the chalet's kitchen, or clearly marked off-limits for the duration of the trip.
In all of Europe we use the Kashrut list of the CCER, Central Conference of European Rabbis, as well as the Kashrut lists of the Rabbanut of the specific country. We also rely on kashrut information supplied by the local Chabad.
Some basics will be brought from Israel, the rest is purchased in the closest major Jewish community's Kosher Supermarket, which is under the supervision of the local Orthodox Rabbinate.
Religious life & Shabbat
We have group davening three times daily for all who choose to participate, with a minyan anticipated at least once a day. We bring a Sefer Torah to enable Kriat HaTorah on all trips.
Our Shabbat celebration includes evening and morning Tefila with singing and festive meals, short scenic group walks, optional shiurim and discussions, mincha and maariv, niggunim, havdalah.
As the Mara DeAtra of KOA who is in charge of implementing accepted halachic guidelines on our trip, I ask that you direct any questions about Kashrut and Shabbat to me. Friends who are interested in coming who want to hear about Kashrut, Tefilla and Shabbat on KOA, will have their questions answered in the clearest and most helpful way if they speak with me directly."

Address: Bergen, Norway
Getting there
Most participants arrive in Bergen a day early to rest up and also enjoy the sights of Bergen! This way they are sure to be at the meeting point on time, as we depart immediately to the Fjords and it is very difficult to connect with us after our departure.
In any event, make sure that your travel arrangements allow you to arrive Wednesday at Bergen Airport (BGO) by 11:30 am, not later!
Meet the KOA Bus at Bergen Airport: Our KOA Norway Trip Leader will be at the appointed meeting place at 11:30 am to gather everyone and bring them to the KOA bus.
Return Flights Thursday: If flying from Bergen Airport, book a flight from 1:00 pm on, not earlier!
The KOA bus will drop off at the Bergen airport at approximately 11:00 am
