As you may know, our facility (now called The Golda Och Academy, a Solomon Schechter Day School) is kosher and requires that our children and staff bring only non-meat lunches from home. Also no shellfish is allowed. This rule is to ensure that non-kosher meat is not on the premises. We know that many of our Harbor Haven children have food restrictions which prohibit dairy products. This makes non-meat lunches a difficult task for parents as they try to figure out what to pack for their child. Therefore we have made arrangements to offer a kosher meat alternative during the week because of these food limitations.
We are pleased to announce that we have made arrangements with Zayda’s Kosher Deli in South Orange for weeks 1-7 of the upcoming season. All parents will have a chance to pre-select a meat lunch for Mondays and Thursdays of those weeks. The choices also include Tuna Salad and Egg Salad. The first date for the lunch option will be Friday July 6th.
Your lunch order sheet and payment will need to be received no later than June 14th.
You must order and pay for all of the lunches your child wants in advance. Once you have sent it in, it will be hard for us to make any changes. If your child is absent on a day you have paid for a lunch, it will be refrigerated until the next day and served to your child, unless you call us and specify otherwise.
The choices are the same each time and will consist of: bologna, corned beef, roast beef, turkey, salami, tuna salad, egg salad or grilled chicken cutlet . The bread choices will be: white, wheat, rye (seedless) or no bread. There will be ¼ pound of meat in each sandwich or container. A pickle will be served with each sandwich. Mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, and Russian dressing will be available on the side. We will continue to provide drinks at lunchtime as we always do, however, any additional lunch items, such as fruit, cookies, chips, etc. must be sent in daily from home in a brown bag (please be sure to mark it with your child’s name and group.)
We will continue to provide a complimentary lunch to everyone every Wednesday according to the schedule below. There is no need to send lunch with your child on those days unless he/she does not eat what we are serving. In that case, send a brown bag lunch from home as usual and we will refrigerate it. As always, we provide a morning and afternoon snack every day!

You can order for as many or as few days as you want. If you are unsure which weeks your child is enrolled for, please call the office before completing the optional lunch sheet. We hope that this program will make lunch planning easier for you and give your child more options for lunch. Please feel free to call or e-mail us if you have any questions. Remember, the deadline is June 14th –no exceptions! We are eagerly looking forward to the summer!
