[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Are Sela's meals Kosher?

I don't think so.

Bummer--is that something we can change?  Also, how do they plan to accomodate exceptions for holidays, e.g.,  Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover?  Are there also exceptions if we take off time for Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret / Simchat Torah, & Shavu'ot?  They don't count absences on holidays against us, do they?

If the PP is curious, we are currently at the Adas Israel.  [/quote]

Uh why would you think the school should offer kosher meals. Sounds very expensive and applicable to a small number of students. [/quote]

Man, doesn't this kind of thing play into the hands of those who said Sela wouldn't be able to separate the Hebrew and the Jewish?[/quote]

Sela offers a vegetarian choice at every meal, as do all the other charters that use Revolution Foods.  I know many Jewish families who keep Kosher at home, as well as Muslim families who keep Halal who are comfortable with their kids eating vegetarian foods outside of the home.  Vegetarian foods are not more expensive than foods that include meat.

In addition, Sela is bound by the same truancy laws as the rest of the city, which include provisions for students who miss school for religious observance.  This would allow you to keep your child home for Simchat Torah or Eid or Good Friday as you wish.[/quote]
