Class-wide Celebrations

Kashrut is an important concept of Judaism that is taught at Beth Tfiloh. It is approached with sensitivity, especially because there are so many different levels of Kashrut observance represented among the Beth Tfiloh school population. Our goal at Beth Tfiloh is to ensure that every child, whatever his/her background, be comfortable at our school and feel an important part of the Beth Tfiloh family.

All snacks or cakes brought in to school for parties, special activities or celebrations must have Kosher certification. A Kosher symbol indicates that the food has been certified by a reliable rabbinic agency. Packaged goods with the following Kosher symbols are permissible. “D” next to any of the symbols indicates that the item is dairy:


If you want to bring dairy food items, they must be served either in the morning before lunch or on a day where our hot lunch is dairy. Dairy lunches are served on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All foods served after lunch on a meat hot lunch day must be pareve.

Baked goods from the following bakeries and companies are dairy:
• Dunkin Donuts (Reisterstown Road and Colonial Village)*
• Dunkin Donuts (Reisterstown Road and Old Court Road)*
*These locations are the only kosher locations of these shops in the area.
• Entenmann’s
