Thanks to the Vaad

Over the past two weeks, Oakwood Country Club has had the privilege of hosting two kosher events —- one, a private celebration and one, a community fundraiser — at which more than 400 dinners were served. We were thrilled to meet the challenge and provide this service.

One of the key reasons we were able to successfully accomplish this to the great satisfaction of our guests is the positive and cooperative assistance of the Vaad HaKashruth. Rather than focusing on why things could not be done, the Vaad’s goal was to explore how the menus could be crafted creatively and the food prepared deliciously.

We are grateful to the Vaad’s leadership, and specifically to Rabbi Mendel Segal, Bruce Daniels and Binyomin Mazer for their onsite supervision. Who knows, soon Chicken Tikka Masala may replace chopped liver as a kosher staple!
