The
laws of Kashrut are a large part of living a Jewish life. The Torah
regards the dietary laws as a discipline in holiness and
spirituality. Here at Congregation Sinai, we are proud to be active
participants in this practice, within the walls of the synagogue and
for many of us in our homes as well. Out of respect for these
traditions the following procedures are provided to assure that these
standards are maintained.
The
Sinai kitchen is kosher. While members or pre-approved caterers
hired by members are welcome to use the kitchen, such use implies
consent to uphold the standards of Kashrut set forth. Sinai’s
kitchen is under the authority and supervision of Rabbi Joshua
Berkenwald and any questions should be directed to him.
Rabbi
Berkenwald is the mara d'atra of Congregation Sinai, and is
charged with setting halakhic standards and issuing rulings for all
questions of Jewish law that arise. This includes determining and
communicating the kashrut policy. Please feel free to contact
Rabbi Berkenwald for additional guidance if you’d like to learn
more about Kashrut observance.
