Kashrut Policy

Kashrut Policy

As a multi-denominational synagogue, Sixth & I works to accommodate a wide variety of religious practices. We have formulated our kashrut policy (Jewish dietary laws, “keeping kosher”) in order to serve as many of our visitors as possible.

Sixth & I’s kitchen is exclusively fleishich (meat), with no dairy products allowed to enter the kitchen. If food is prepared ahead of time, it must be done under the supervision of a mashgiach (kashrut supervisor) and with the full knowledge of the rav hamachshir (supervising rabbi). Kashrut supervision is by Rabbi Jesse Paikin, under the authority of Rabbi Aaron Alexander and Rabbi Elianna Yolkut.

Vegetarian, non-hechshered food is permitted in the administrative building, including our two multi-purpose rooms, and under certain conditions, in our social hall. Vegetarian, non-hechshered food cannot be served with any of our kitchen utensils, serving platters, or pitchers and is not permitted in our kitchen, including reheating on our stove or washing of dishes in the sink.

For more questions concerning kashrut, please contact our religious team.
