Pre-Fast Meal - Kosher Dairy Menu and Recipes
If you prefer to eat a dairy meal before the Yom Kippur fast, this menu includes kosher recipes for low-salt soup, entrees, side dishes and dessert.
Yom Kippur - Pre-Fast Meal of Cessation
Jews traditionally eat a Meal of Cessation - called Seudat Mafseket - before the Yom Kippur fast. My family eats a meat meal for lunch, and then we eat a hi-carb dairy dinner directly before the fast. The meat menu includes low-salt vegetable soup, breaded chicken, potatoes and dessert. The dairy menu includes egg souffle, whole wheat bagels with various spreads and fruit salad.

Pomegranate Apple Salad (Parve)
For lunch on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, after everyone feels a bit heavy from too many holiday meals, I like to serve this fresh and light Pomegranate Apple Salad. It complements the spirit of the holiday by using the two fruits upon which blessings have been made.

Susie Fishbein's Parmesan-Crusted Grouper (Dairy)
The recipes in Susie Fishbein's kosher cookbooks always lead to crowd-pleasing dishes - delicious and beautiful. The recipes in her cookbooks with few ingredients and simple instructions, such as this Parmesan-Crusted Grouper, are my favorites.

Noodle Koogle (Dairy)
This sweet kugel can be prepared a day in advance and baked the day of the meal. What this kugel lacks in our modern definition of "lightness", it makes up for in old-fashioned Jewish food flavor. Serve with baked salmon and Israeli salad for an easy-to-prepare and satisfying dairy meal that the whole family will enjoy.

Summer Fruit Soup (Parve)
Fruit Soup - easy to make and refreshing to eat - is the perfect summer dessert. This recipe is economical, as it uses in-season produce. It is healthy, as it contains no fat and can be made without sugar. And it is parve, which means it can be served after any kosher meal (meat or dairy).

Before fasting, I like to eat pasta, but I don't like eat tomato sauce. Thus, this is the perfect pre-fast Lasagna recipe. Asparagus or mushrooms can be used in this recipe, which was contributed by Eileen Goltz.
