Posted by rabbismith on 12/24/2021 @ 12:04 PM
Kosher Senior Night
Great new discount program for senior citizens to enjoy delicious Kosher food with their friends on the last Monday of every month at local restaurants or buying takeout! At a time when the prices of food are soaring, many restaurant owners in South Florida have a soft spot for senior citizens and are offering steep discounts (up to 20% off.) The program is called Kosher Senior Night and, as the name suggests, it has an additional goal to allow those seniors that miss eating Kosher, to enjoy kosher at least once a month.
There is also an option to order a subsidized Catered Meal that can be picked up from our headquarters in North Miami Beach or delivered.
Please tell your senior friends about this program. All seniors can join Kosher Senior Night by simply entering one of our participating locations on the last Monday of the month and mentioning you would like the Kosher Senior Night discount. Participants will be entered in our bi-monthly raffle to win great prizes, such as lunch for 2 at local kosher establishments.
This program is sponsored by United Jewish Generations, a Chabad organization for senior citizens. For more info, check out our website WWW.UnitedJewishGenerations.com/KSN or call us at (305) 770-4540.
