Finding kosher food anywhere
- Look for a hechsher — a kosher-supervision certificate from a recognized agency, posted where you can see it and still in date.
- “Kosher-style” is not kosher. A deli that serves pastrami and pickles isn’t necessarily supervised. Only a certificate tells you.
- Vegetarian or vegan isn’t automatically kosher either — ingredients, wine, cheese and the kitchen itself all matter.
- Ask locally. The local Orthodox rabbi or Chabad house always knows which places are reliable in that city, including when traveling.
- Check the hours around Shabbat. Most supervised restaurants close Friday afternoon and reopen Saturday night.
