Kosher

Any student who participates in a dining plan can elect to enroll in Columbia's Kosher Dining Plan. Those who participate are given access to a Kosher cooler within John Jay that offers grab-and-go deli items including sandwiches, salads, snacks and desserts. The convenient location in John Jay Dining Hall makes it easy for students to grab a bite on their way to and from class. All our Kosher food is supplied by Fresko which is under the supervision of Star-K.

Retail Locations

Kosher items are also available at most of the retail locations on campus and include everything from grab-and-go sandwiches to gourmet salads. We’re constantly looking for fresh ideas to improve retail kosher offerings, so please send your suggestions to [email protected].

You can also visit Café Nana, a kosher restaurant/lounge launched, operated, and managed by five Columbia and Barnard students, on the second floor of the Columbia/Barnard Hillel - Kraft Center.

Jewish Theological Seminary
