Brit milah and simchat bat catering
Brit milah catering from our kitchen at 99 Ibn Gabirol, Tel Aviv: trays after a morning ceremony, or a home-style meal from the pots for a brit at noon, at home, in the synagogue or in a hall. We take orders two to three days ahead, so it is enough to call once the time is set with the mohel.

From the birth to the brit: when to order and when the food arrives
- After the birth
The brit is on the eighth day, so the date is known about a week ahead. The time is set with the mohel.
- Two to three days before
Send a request: number of guests, time, place, and morning or noon.
- The day before
Confirm the final number and the delivery time. For an early-morning brit, say so in the request and we check what is possible, or pick up yourselves at 99 Ibn Gabirol.
- The morning of the brit
Cold trays go into the fridge until after the ceremony. Heat the meatballs during the brit and the schnitzel strips last, 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C.
- After the ceremony
Serve. Cold food stays out no more than two hours, and what is left goes into the fridge.
- A brit on Friday or Shabbat
On Friday, delivery is between 09:00 and 13:00. For a Shabbat brit the food arrives on Friday, and the order closes on Wednesday at 20:00.
A brit at home, in the synagogue or in a hall
| Place | What to check ahead | What fits from our kitchen |
|---|---|---|
| At home | Fridge space, an oven to reheat, a serving table and plates | Any of the three options. At noon the pots reheat in the oven or on the stove |
| In the synagogue or its hall | With the gabbai: when you can get in, where the food goes, whether there is a fridge and an oven, which supervision is required and what to clear up | Morning trays that need no long reheating |
| In an events hall | Some halls do not allow outside food, so ask before you book | Only if the hall agrees |
Our kitchen is meat and pareve, with no dairy dishes. For questions about a specific supervision, call us before ordering.
A brit without dairy: meat and pareve
Why it matters
Many morning brits are catered dairy. We have no dairy dishes, so pareve food and meat dishes can share one table.
What is pareve
The sabich, aja, salads and fish patties are pareve, and suit guests who would rather not eat meat in the morning.
Guests on their way to work
At a morning brit many eat standing and leave. Mini pitas and schnitzel strips are finger food, with no plate or cutlery needed.
Brit, simchat bat and a Shabbat brit: what to order
Trays
About 340 g a guest: mini pitas, meatballs, schnitzel strips and salads. For a meat-free morning, fish patties replace the meatballs and schnitzel.
A home meal from the pots
Meatballs in sauce, couscous with beef and vegetables, salads and pita, about 570 g and ₪79 a guest.
Planned at leisure
A baby girl's naming has no fixed day, so date, time and menu can be chosen ahead. Any of the options fits.
Food eaten cold
The food arrives on Friday. At a Shabbat kiddush serve schnitzel strips and salads, and meatballs in sauce only if there is a hot plate.
What else moves the price
What the price includes, what costs extra elsewhere and how to reheat each dish are on the small-event catering page. It also covers what drives the price of meat catering, and compares catering, hosting trays and cooking yourself.
