Note: Since Judea Reform is a synagogue, there are certain dietary policies to which we ask that all hosts, guests, and caterers adhere. You can find the dietary policies here.

Dietary Policy

1. Pork products are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:
   • Sausage
   • Pancetta

   • Mussels
   • Clams
   • Lobster
   • Shrimp

3. Meat and dairy should not be served in the same dish. They may, however, be served at the same meal, so individuals may choose to pair them.
