It’s time to give our South Florida Jewish delis some love. August is a slow month, and they’re looking for ways to bring in business as they support local charities.
To celebrate National Deli Month, these kosher-style restaurants will make a donation to South Florida nonprofits when diners buy selected delicacies. A visit is a great excuse to indulge in a pastrami sandwich, latkes or cheesecake, with a portion of proceeds going to organizations that support Jewish life and cancer patients or help the hungry.
Find the closest deli to you or go out of your way for your favorite comfort foods; the promotions are good through Aug. 31.

Both are $19 and must be purchased online or through their app.
