ROSH HASHANAH & YOM KIPPUR CATERING A Break the Fast Classic Catering & YOM KIPPUR

Whether Rosh Hashanah arrives early—like this year: September 6!—or not until October, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur forever signify for me the end of Summer and the true beginning of Fall. No matter the weather, I don’t get into an autumn mindset till these two holidays are behind us. I know we’ll be together as a family to break the fast on September 16th. My brothers and I will discuss the quality and availability of smoked fish as we do every year, tell smokehouse stories—my brother Saul went to the smokehouses every week for years and years—and while none of us do that now, we still take a lot of interest in the fish we sell and the fish we eat.

Need to turn your Labor Day barbecue into a Erev Rosh Hashanah family dinner? Need help going from summer’s ease to autumn obligations? The Catering Department here at Eli’s is ready to talk you through the menus and ingredients you’ll want to

use to usher in the season ahead. Eli and his sons, Sasha on the left, and Oliver.
