Gathering for meals is part of the way we build community. Because we value inclusiveness, we support the widest possible range of eating practices. We encourage everyone to contribute to these gatherings, whether you keep strict kosher in your personal life or not. We have a lot of great cooks in our community, so hopefully part of your practice is eating things that are delicious. How do I sign up to contribute food?We post a link to the potluck on the front page of our site as well as on the current Facebook event for that month. Will the food be kosher?Yes. To support those who keep traditional kashrut practices, we plan for all of our food to meet kosher standards. We also try to include local, organic ingredients, and provide vegetarian and vegan options (more about eco-kashrut). Because we have a broad community, potlucks may include some non-kosher dishes - these will always be clearly labeled, and served on a separate table.What should I bring to a potluck?Any of the below are great. Our meals are generally fleishig/vegetarian, so please make sure your food is dairy free.
