Best Bets For Kosher Food In Sacramento

Kosher food can be hard to come by, especially if you live in the Sacramento area. Although this city has no shortage of an Orthodox presence, since the departure of the area's rabbi last year, there have been budgetary restrictions on restaurants that offer kosher food. The Jewish community has heard the call for a new rabbi and is in the process of electing one who will allow for more blessed menu items. However in the meantime, kosher dining is limited. Luckily, all hope is not lost. Sacramento residents can still enjoy this cherished food by following this outline of all things kosher around town.
