Preparing for Rosh Hashanah? Let’s Make It Unforgettable

I’m Jacob Mizrachi, and for the past 18 years I’ve helped families across South Florida celebrate Rosh Hashanah with meaning, comfort, and fully kosher meals they’re proud to serve.
Rosh Hashanah is not just another dinner — it’s a moment of reflection, family, sweetness, and tradition. And if you’re hosting, you already know: the food sets the tone.
Whether you're planning an intimate dinner in Aventura or a multi-family gathering in Boca Raton, our certified glatt kosher catering brings the flavors, symbols, and elegance of the holiday to your table — so you can focus on what really matters.

Why Rosh Hashanah Food Matters
Rosh Hashanah meals are more than festive — they’re symbolic.
Each ingredient tells a story:
Apples and honey for a sweet year
Round challah for the circle of life
Pomegranate for abundance
Fish head (or alternative) to “be the head, not the tail”
And the way it’s presented makes all the difference.
💡 Food brings the entire family together — it’s the moment where meaning becomes memory.
What Makes Kosher Catering for High Holidays Unique?
Kosher Rosh Hashanah catering isn’t just about avoiding treif — it’s about honoring traditions while meeting the modern expectations of your family and guests.
The best solution is:
Certified glatt kosher
Fully prepared in a supervised kitchen
Delivered in time for proper setup before candle lighting
Menus that reflect both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions
We never deliver generic trays. Each menu is personalized, down to dietary needs, family customs, and schedule.
How We Build Your Custom Rosh Hashanah Menu
Whether you’re observing at home or hosting guests in a rental or community center, we tailor each order to your group.
What we consider:
Guest count (kids, elderly, dietary needs)
Whether you need delivery only or setup + service
Ashkenazi vs Sephardic menu preferences
Schedule for the first and second night meals
Your space: plated, buffet, or family-style
We design unique menus for each household — no “one size fits all.”

Rosh Hashanah FAQs: Apples, Honey & Logistics
What’s the most important dish to include?
Apples and honey — always. But we also recommend a warm main (like brisket or chicken) and a symbolic dessert.
Is fish kosher for Rosh Hashanah?
Yes, especially when used as a symbolic dish (like fish head). We offer both traditional and modern options.
Do you offer vegetarian or gluten-free versions?
This is possible. We build tailored menus around any restriction.
How do I reheat the meals?
All drop-off meals include clear reheating instructions — or we can provide oven-safe packaging if needed.

Basically yes, we offer full holiday coverage from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur.
