Dining Hall

The JTS dining hall is a social center for the JTS community, as well as for a number of Barnard and Columbia University men and women. It is a great place to meet new friends and to enjoy good times with old ones. Meals are varied and cater to just about every taste, for example:
  • Freshly-baked muffins and pastries enhance breakfasts.
  • The abundant salad bar features more than eight different salads, assorted fresh vegetables, and a big bowl of fresh greens.
  • All meal entrees include vegetarian selections.
  • Special events with fun menus and great prices occur regularly.

Please remember to keep your food, plates, and utensils 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.
