Kashrut in Congregation Sinai

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.
