We have booths from many different organizations, including Conservative and Orthodox synagogues. As the Head of School, and the Rav HaMachshir for the school, I work hard to make sure people will be comfortable eating at our event. All prep work is done in our kitchen. We provide the meat, the teams buy everything else. I personally supervise every team that participates which includes approving the items they bring from the store, the prep work, the cooking, etc. What is so wonderful about this event is that it brings in 2,000 people from all parts of the community. As a Conservative day school we are committed to the highest standards of Kashrut and to K'lal Yisrael. Anyone who has any questions about Kashrut is welcome to come into the kitchen and see how we do things. So far, kashrut politics have not been a problem.
