My name is Marc. I am not a member of Hazon but this was sent to me by a member. I am a kosher chef that specializes in exactly what you are referring to in this article. My website is www.mealsbymarc.com. I am based in Edison, NJ so delivering a lunch platter to NYC would probably not be feasible however I do a lot of business with private parties and would definitely come to NYC to cater a larger event. Please keep me in mind. I am a relative of Dan Kestin, who I believe is on your board. This article was sent to me by Elissa Meth, Dan’s fiance. Hello! My name is Marc.

Maybe Hazon could team up with JUFJ's Ethical Simcha's campaign down in DC to work on this...it's like "ethical meetings" in the Jewish community...I mean the same goes for other issues like hotel labor, energy usage, etc. Leah,

Agreed Richard - the potential for supply to catch up with demand is exciting! The link didn't work Michael - could you repost?

Woops, sorry, where was I? This is a great post. I think there is an amazing pent-up demand for shuls, schools and community groups everywhere to hear from someone how to solve this problem ... I am very excited to see where this takes us. As someone who was at this meeting, and ate the bagels, I have a complaint to make…

One obvious solution would be to start the kind of catering service that you could not find. Where there is a market need (as there clearly was here) then there’s a business opportunity.
