## Frequently asked questions

### What does "kosher" mean?

Kosher (from the Hebrew kashrut) refers to food prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary law. This includes restrictions on animal species, prohibitions on mixing meat and dairy, specific slaughter practices (shechita), and oversight by a certifying rabbinical authority. A kosher restaurant operates a kitchen and sourcing chain that meets these standards under rabbinical supervision.

### How do I find kosher restaurants near me?

Open Jewgo Nav and allow location access: the app surfaces kosher eateries near you sorted by distance, with filters for kosher type (meat, dairy, pareve), certifying agency, cuisine and open-now status. Listings show hours, photos, community ratings and one-tap directions. Travelling? Browse by city to find kosher options in Miami, Boca Raton, Aventura and beyond.

### What is the difference between meat, dairy, and pareve?

Kosher kitchens are categorized by what they serve. Meat (fleishig) restaurants serve kosher meat and poultry. Dairy (milchig) restaurants serve milk-based foods. Pareve means neither meat nor dairy: fish, eggs, fruits and vegetables. Jewish law prohibits mixing meat and dairy, so restaurants generally specialize in one category. Jewgo Nav tags listings so you can filter by the type that fits your meal.

### What is a hechsher?

A hechsher is a kosher certification symbol, a mark displayed on packaging, menus, or restaurant entrances identifying the rabbinical authority overseeing the product or kitchen. Common hechshers include the OU, OK, Star-K, Kof-K, and local vaad ha'kashrus councils. Standards vary between authorities, so observant diners often confirm which specific hechsher backs a certification before eating.

### Are the kosher listings on Jewgo Nav verified?

Jewgo Nav listings are community-powered and typically include the restaurant's kosher certification (hechsher) and certifying authority where the restaurant provides one. Information is maintained by business owners and community members. While we work to keep details accurate, always verify the certification and level of supervision directly with the restaurant if your standard of kashrut requires it.

### Which South Florida cities have the most kosher restaurants?

South Florida is one of the largest kosher dining regions in the United States. Miami, Miami Beach, Aventura, Boca Raton, Hollywood, and Fort Lauderdale all have dense kosher restaurant scenes, from casual pizza shops and dairy cafés to sit-down steakhouses and sushi bars.
