A Jewish school in New York City has filed suit against a Miami Beach hotel over the cancellation of a trip. The plaintiffs are seeking a $2.3 million reimbursement for the over 600 rooms they planned to occupy during the Passover holiday at the Eden Roc hotel. According to the lawsuit, the hotel is refusing to refund the group and has insisted the trip be rescheduled or "proceed as scheduled with whomever was foolhardy enough to travel from New York to Miami Beach for the Passover 2020 event."
