No open packages may be brought into the synagogue. Beth Israel Center maintains a strictly kosher kitchen with a strict separation of milk and meat. If you are unsure about which utensils, cutting boards, appliances, dishwasher racks, etc., are to be used with which types of food, please ask before using them. Packaged goods with supervision may be dairy. Check carefully to see that there are no milk products in your product if you are making a meat meal.
Many margarines are dairy, but a few are pareve.
All meat must come from supervised butchers or wholesalers. Additionally, Empire brand frozen meat is available at several local supermarkets. Baked goods may be brought in from several local bakeries that are supervised by the Beth Israel Center rabbi.
