weekly shabbat dinner

Cliff,

My apologies for not responding earlier. We were away in Israel for two months and are moving, so things are kind of hectic. It seems to me that one of the major issues was being open on shabbos. The idea of doing a weekly shabbat dinner, this is something we can explore some more on a semi-regular basis. So to address the question directly - the first step would certainly be for the restaurant to be closed on shabbat, with the exception of pre-ordered and pre-cooked meals. Is that an option you would consider, even if it would not compensate for your lost Friday night and Saturday daytime revenue?

hello reb sarna,

i hope that this e-mail finds that you and your family are well. i wanted you to know that I was truly looking forward to working with you on making sacred chow 100% observant kosher on shabbos. i was certain you had understood that by the end of august, sacred chow would be 100% observant. i view this the only way for sacred chow to be 100% kosher. as such, sacred chow would be observant and educating both observant and non-observant patrons by creating a low-carbon shabbos, no electrical transactions or cooking, w/ blessings, prayer, storytelling to further instill insight and hope. short of OU certification, as zev is our rabbi, and closing, let me know what we can do together to make this an example for the generations, and a sacred space for the observant jewish community every day, and especially on shabbos. my sincere best to you, cliff preefer, sacred chow
