Find these classics at Pittsburgh kosher restaurants and caterers.
Seudah Hamafseket (Pre-Fast Meal)
The final meal before the Tisha B'Av fast is deliberately simple and mournful. The traditional meal consists of bread and a hard-boiled egg, sometimes dipped in ashes, eaten while sitting on the floor. Some add lentils, another food of mourning.
Post-Fast Foods
After the 25-hour fast ends, light and easily digestible foods are recommended. Simple dairy, bread, fruit, and beverages help ease the body back into eating after a full day without food or water.
Hard-Boiled Eggs
Eggs are a traditional food of mourning in Judaism, served at the seudah hamafseket and at meals of consolation after a funeral. Their round shape symbolizes the cycle of life.
