Visitors arriving through Kehilat Zion will be able to take full advantage of the fair's business opportunities without sacrificing religious observances or comfort, thanks to the hotel's Sephardic Syrian Synagogue & Glatt Kosher Exclusive Restaurant Hong Kong. Both of these entities will be on property and available to guests between October 23 and November 2, and they will facilitate religious services as well as provide kosher dining. Prayer services and Torah lessons will help focus travelers as they're on the road, while the breakfasts, take-away lunches and buffet dinners let guests effortlessly abide by kosher rules.
