If you have already selected a caterer please provide the name and contact information.  For a list of caterers already approved to work at the Bayit please visit www.thebayit.org/cater.

All caterers must submit proof of liability and workmen's compensation insurance as well as their teudah (kosher certificate) before being approved to work at the Bayit.

Additionally, caterers who have a history of violating house rules may not be allowed to provide service at the synagogue.

If your caterer is not on our approved list, we strongly recommend that you do not sign any contracts until he or she is approved.

The Bayit is not responsible for any losses incurred by a renter who signs a contract or provides a deposit to a caterer prior to confirming their ability to work at the synagogue.
