Resorts and cruise lines have risen to meet the new demand. The Broadmoor, a venerable hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo., has seen a 3% increase each year in the number of multigenerational families who celebrate holidays there. Canyon Ranch, which has enjoyed a steady Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter business, added Passover seders seven or eight years ago. They are populated mostly by couples, like the Friends, who leave the family behind to get a new type of R. and R.: religion and relaxation...

After a long day analyzing computer-network security for Sandia National Laboratories, where much of the U.S. nuclear arsenal is designed, Carpenter, 36, retreated to his ranch house in the hills overlooking Albuquerque, N.M., for a quick dinner and an early bedtime. He set his alarm for 2 a.m. Waking in the dark, he took a thermos of coffee and a pack of Nicorette gum to the cluster of computer terminals in his home office. As he had almost every night for the previous four months, he worked at his secret volunteer job until...
