Thank you for signing up to
sponsor a Kiddush!
KIDDUSH POLICY §All
members are expected to sponsor or co-sponsor a Kiddush each secular calendar year.
Arrangements for co-sponsoring are made by the sponsoring members. Please contact the Kiddush Coordinator for
scheduling. §Food must be dairy or parve (should not have meat or meat products in
contents). Kiddush hosts should be careful to check that all labels of
prepared food include a hechsher. Our kashrut policy permits the serving of cooked foods only
if they are prepackaged under a reliable hekhsher
(i.e., kashrut supervision). Only uncooked food may
be prepared at home. (See Kashrut Policy approved
by the Ritual Committee.) See below for a list of kosher caters and
bakeries. You are not required to purchase your Kiddush items from these
vendors for a standard Kiddush. For special simchot,
you must use an approved caterer or vendor (see list below). Consult Larry/Sue Korman, 410 486-3434 or the Ritual Committee if you have
questions. §The standard fare is humus and other dips with pita
bread or crackers, chips, and sweets (cookies, cake). See below for
amounts and more suggestions if you'd like to serve more than the
minimum. Kiddush Sponsor
Procedures
§ Unless you are hosting for a special simcha and have invited guests, you can plan for a
standard Shabbat Kiddush for approximately 60 to 75 people.Three round
tables are usually used with soda and sweets placed on the table nearest the door to
the foyer. Place identical offerings of non-dessert foods on the other two
tables. Notify Larry/Sue Korman if you are
having more than the standard Kiddush. (3 round tables for food and drink.) § Call Larry/ Sue Korman the
week before to get a best estimate of how many people and whether or not
there is leftover food, juice, or snacks to use from the previous week. § The standard fare is humus and other dips with pita
bread or crackers, chips, and sweets (cookies, cake). See below for
amounts and more suggestions if you'd like to serve more than the
minimum. § Check with Larry/ Sue to know if you need to bring
grape juice for Kiddush. § Bread for HaMotzi is not
required. If bread is part of Kiddush, the blessing after a meal is required.
A wash station is available. § Sponsors provide at least 1 bottle of apple juice
and 2 boxes of hechshered cookies, or crackers,
pretzels or other snack item and/or fruit for the kids' room. § Sponsors should also provide about 4 bottles of
juice and /or soda (half diet and half regular). Amounts,
Suggestions for What To Bring
§2 platters crudities with dip. For crudités, cut-up
or small vegetables such as baby carrots, celery sticks, jicama
sticks, bell pepper sticks, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber sticks. Dip suggestions
include salsa, hummus, and babaganoush. §2 platters/bowls chips or pretzels with or without
dip (see suggestions above) §2 platters crackers/pita/lavash
with assorted hard cheeses and/or spreads (humus, babaganoush,
vegetarian chopped liver, tahini, or flavored cream
cheeses) §2 platters fruit (melon balls or slices, orange, Clementine,
or tangerine wedges, cherries, strawberries, berries, grapes, etc.) §2 bowls fish (herring, gefilte) §1 bowl or platter of pickled/salty items (nuts,
olives, pickles, pickled eggplant, etc.) §2 platters sliced cake and/or cookies or brownies.
We recommend slicing the cake at services, not in advance. §Paper goods, serving bowls, platters, etc. will be
provided by Chevrei Tzedek. Drop Off and Set Up §It is highly preferable that you drop off the food
on Friday afternoon to the §Park your car by the kitchen alcove and unload it
directly into the kitchen. You’ll have to come through the sanctuary and into
the kitchen to unlock the door. It’s easier to unload and it saves carrying
supplies through the sanctuary while the service is in progress. §The contents of the unlocked cabinets over the small
fridge belong to the Congregation. This is where you will find paper
products, forks, spoons and serving platters. §Keep voices low when preparing the food in the
kitchen, so as not disturb the service. There are two carts to place
the food/ drinks on in preparation for putting it out. §Set up includes pouring grape juice cups for
Kiddush. §The carts should not be rolled out into the
auditorium until announcements start. Clean Up § Sponsors
must stay until the end of Kiddush to clean up. Larry and Sue will be there
to help. Please do not leave without checking with them to make sure
everything is taken care of. §The blue tarp on the stage needs to be swept,folded and placed back on the shelving where the books are stored. §Wipe down all tables, kitchen area and carts. § §Check for trash in room and take all trash to
dumpster outside the back kitchen door. CHEVREI TZEDEK’S
