• Our Kitchen Team: We do not have an in-house catering staff-our weekly spreads and event preparations are made with love by our 100% volunteer-led kitchen team!

• Private Events & Lifecycle Celebrations: If you are planning an event at the shul, we are happy to share our list of trusted local caterers who are fully familiar with our facilities and the laws of Kashrut.

• Bake Days for Your Events: Families celebrating a Simcha are welcome to host a "bake day" in our synagogue kitchen to prepare treats for their event under the guidance of our kitchen rules and Kashrut standards.

If you have questions about food preparation, renting our social hall, or hosting an event, please reach out to the synagogue office and we will be delighted to help you!
