Home Kitchen Food Preparation Policy
- If you are preparing a meal for a kosher home, your kitchen must be
kosher or you must purchase a meal from a kosher restaurant or vendor.
- If you are preparing a meal for a home that is not kosher, your kitchen does not need to be kosher. We request that you prepare the meal in a kosher style which means that any meat you use is kosher, you do not mix meat and milk ingredients in one meal, you do not use any ingredients that are not kosher (i.e., shellfish or pork products) and you prepare the food in disposable pans.
In this manner, everyone may participate in the mitzvah of providing meals to those in need while still respecting that these acts of chesed are a part of our synagogue community. If you have any questions about kosher style or kosher ingredients, please contact one of our rabbis at Rabbi.Drill@theojc.org or Rabbi.Scheff@theojc.org.
