Banquet & Sanctuary Facilities
Some of the following facilities can host kosher events; many do not do so exclusively. We strongly advise our readers who keep kosher to verify the kashrut status and supervision in each case. Many synagogues and JCCs have sanctuary and banquet facilities available. Please check with the individual organizations regarding kosher availability.
