Traditional Yom Hashoah Foods
Find these classics at Philadelphia kosher restaurants and caterers.
Memorial Meal
Yom Hashoah is not a food-centered holiday. Some communities gather for a simple, humble meal after memorial ceremonies, reflecting the solemnity of the day.
Simple, Humble Foods
When food is served at Yom Hashoah gatherings, it tends to be simple fare: bread, eggs, and other modest foods that reflect a spirit of mourning and remembrance rather than celebration.
Traditional Eastern European Foods
Some communities serve foods that recall the pre-war Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, such as challah, simple soups, and potato dishes, as a way to honor and remember the world that was lost.
