The Basics

The JTS Dining Hall is located on first-floor Brush. For information or questions, please dial extension 8822 or 8823. The JTS Dining Hall is managed by Mr. Richard Costas of Flik Independent Schools by Chartwells.

During the academic year, the dining hall is open for breakfast and lunch on every day that classes are in session, Monday through Thursday from 7:45 a.m. to 10 a.m., 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. for light snacks, salad bar, and coffee.

Food, plates, and utensils should be kept on your tray, not on the tables. No outside food, kosher or otherwise, may be brought into the dining hall at any time, and no utensils, trays, or equipment may leave the dining-hall area.

Rabbinical Supervision

The JTS Dining Hall is under the supervision of Rabbi Joel Roth, Rav Hamakhshir, and his staff of mashgihim.
