Hanukkah: Lights, Food, Celebration

Hanukkah is an enchanting and joyous occasion when Jewish communities gather to celebrate the Festival of Lights. This eight-day holiday is steeped in custom and tradition, with activities such as lighting the menorah, playing with dreidels, and indulging in scrumptious dishes. In this blog post, we will explore some of the most popular Hanukkah traditions and food ideas you can serve your loved ones. And don’t forget, you still have time to place your Hanukkah order with Catering by Michaels (more on that later!)

We Are All Together For Yom Kippur

We Are All Together For Yom Kippur

One of our favorite things about Catering by Michaels is the different cultures and religions on our team. Many members of our team are not familiar with the Jewish holidays when they join our company. Since these holidays are a big part of our business, we always take the time every year to teach the traditions and cuisine of each holiday.

On Yom Kippur, people will come together for fasting and prayer from before sundown on the previous night until after sundown on the day of the fast. This means no food or drink is consumed for 24 hours. Foods that are comforting, filling, and requiring minimal preparation are the perfect foods to eat after a day of fasting.
