Why Chanukah Is the Perfect Time for Gathering and Light

Hi, I’m Jacob Mizrachi, founder of Elegant Kosher Catering end Evants.

I’m Jacob Mizrachi, and for me, Chanukah has always been about light — both the one on the menorah and the one in people’s faces when they gather to celebrate together.

It’s one of the most joyful moments of the year, and in Miami, it becomes even more radiant — warm nights, outdoor dining, and festive colors.

Our glatt kosher kitchen prepares for Chanukah weeks in advance, creating menus that bring comfort, symbolism, and a touch of elegance. Because food is how we make light tangible.

Common Holiday Planning Mistakes to Avoid

Overcomplicating the menu. Focus on presentation and flow, not number of dishes.
Serving dairy after meat. Always keep pareve desserts for flexibility.
Forgetting candle lighting time. Schedule dinner service right after blessings.
Underestimating equipment needs. Frying and plating require space.
Booking too late. Chanukah is a peak season for glatt kosher caterers.

💡 Pro tip: Always plan serving logistics — fried dishes like latkes must stay crisp, so timing and warming setups matter more than anything.
