While the talk here in Israel is more about last week’s election results or the upcoming World Cup in Qatar (from Nov. 20th, for those who care ;-) ), Thanksgiving, celebrated primarily in the US, is fast approaching (Nov. 24th this year).
Many former Americans living here still celebrate it, either on the day (4th Thursday of the month) or the following Shabbat, with its many traditional foods.
Even tho it’s an especially American holiday, it’s always a good time to be thankful for what we have and to enjoy some traditional Thanksgiving food, which is, on the whole, not traditional Israel Shabbat food!
For us, it’s a chance to mix things up a bit with our special Thanksgiving menu, offering some items we don’t normally do during the year.
Deadline for Thanksgiving orders is Thursday, Nov. 17th.

Wishing all of you all a happy, HEALTHY Thanksgiving and winter ahead and looking forward to hearing from you!

Sorry for the delay - attached is our summer meal package menu (this week is obviously not relevant). We're here to help you enjoy your summer and avoid excessive time in the hot, sweaty kitchen (that's what we're here for!).
Taste of Talbieh/Marc of Excellence is offering, as every summer, a different menu, including various choices, each week, to be ordered for Shabbat by that Tuesday before noon. Each package includes an appetizer, 2 salads, main, side & dessert. Some items can be divided into 2. Chicken is mehadrin, meat is chalak/glatt. Private hashgacha by Rabbi Gedalia Meyer of Maale Adumim.
Delivery to Jerusalem 50 NIS per week; delivery within Maale Adumim 25 NIS per week, free in Mitzpe Nevo. Contact us separately for delivery to other locations.
Let us help you have an even better summer!

To all our loyal followers and customers, in case you've inquired, or thought of writing, regarding our Pesach catering plans, while we deeply appreciate your reaching out and asking whether we're doing Pesach catering and if we can send you a menu, we would've of course posted a menu here if we had one, but we stopped catering for Pesach 5-6 years ago; it just got to be too much for us, and we're deeply enjoying the relaxed chag and time before/during to spend with family and friends.
There's a whole 'new' generation of Kosher for Pesach caterers out there (your can ask Dr. Google or go to eluna.com) and you'll no doubt find several who can make your chag easy and tasty.
Meanwhile, wishing you all a chag kasher v'sameach and - for the moment, at least ;-) - continue using us during the rest of the year, especially the Fall chagim, summer and Thanksgiving when we offer special menus!

The Thanksgiving holiday, celebrated mainly in the US, is fast approaching (Nov. 25th this year). Many former Americans living here still celebrate it, either on the day (4th Thursday of the month) or the following Shabbat, with traditional Thanksgiving foods as a change of pace from the usual Shabbat menu (which we also offer 😉 ). Even tho it’s an especially American holiday, it’s always a good time to be thankful for what we have and to enjoy some traditional Thanksgiving food, which is, on the whole, not traditional Israel Shabbat food!
For us, it’s a chance to mix things up a bit with our special Thanksgiving menu, offering some items we don’t normally do during the year.
Deadline for Thanksgiving orders is Thursday, Nov. 18th.
As usual, under the Kashrut supervision of Rabbi Gedalia Meyer; all meat is chalak, chicken/turkey is mehadrin. Produce this year is Heter Mechira.
Wishing all of you a happy, HEALTHY Thanksgiving and winter ahead and hope to hear from you!

Hard to believe that we will be welcoming the New Year of 5782 in 3 weeks!!!
Even though we don’t know yet if we’ll be celebrating yet another year in lockdown, we’ll still have to eat! ;-)
Attached is our menu for the upcoming 2021 Holiday season (Rosh Hashanah and Succot deliveries) with a wide range of foods for you to enjoy and make things easier for you.
Please note that the deadline for placing orders for Rosh Hashanah is Sunday, August 29th. Deliveries in Jerusalem & surrounding areas will be on Sunday, Sept. 5th (no pickups in JM due to Covid), & deliveries & pickups in Maale Adumim will be erev chag, Monday, Sept. 6th.
As noted on the menu, this coming year is a Shmittah year, as we all know; for catering we will be observing Heter Mechirah for all our produce; we will try to buy as much of the holiday produce as we can before RH. Most of the frozen vegetables we buy are mehadrin, imported (except for Broccoli, which is local but picked/packed before Shmittah).
As usual, our meat is Chalak/Glatt and our chickens are Mehadrin.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

So, whether or not you plan on ordering from us, we wish you all a happy and healthy New Year, filled with nachat and contentment and only good things.

Shana Tovah!
Adina & Marc Kischel
