Traditional Yom Kippur Foods
Find these classics at Brooklyn kosher restaurants and caterers.
Seudah Hamafseket (Pre-Fast Meal)
The final meal before the 25-hour fast begins at sundown. Light, easy-to-digest foods are traditional — chicken soup, chicken or fish, and round challah.
Break-Fast Spread
After the fast ends, families gather for a break-fast featuring bagels, lox, cream cheese, kugel, blintzes, and other dairy or pareve foods to gently end the day.
Honey Cake (Lekach)
Honey cake is traditionally given before Yom Kippur as a sweet wish for a good new year, and to fulfill a custom of accepting a gift so one need not receive it as a heavenly decree.
Bagels and Lox
The quintessential Yom Kippur break-fast centerpiece — smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, and fresh bagels from a kosher bakery.
