Kashrut

Often I am asked what makes me a religious Jew. Does being it mean keeping the laws of Kashrut? (Jewish dietary laws) Does it mean keeping the Sabbath and the holidays? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Traditionally, we are taught that a ‘frum’ person is someone who keeps the Big 3: Shabbat, Kashrut, and Mikvah and if you’re single that you intend on following the laws of family purity upon marriage. I grew up in a Modern Orthodox, Zionistic home. My mother’s family has rabbis in our ancestry. My maternal grandmother has two ' grandfathers who were rabbis and her father was born in the Old City. My maternal grandfather grew up with a father who was a shochet. (A ritual slaughterer) My father’s family was not religiously observant. My father has told me that his paternal grandfather, his namesake was a Communist. There…

In the Jewish religion, people are required to follow specific dietary laws that were given to them through Gods commandments. This can pertain to separation of milk and meat, what meat is permitted to be consumed, how food can be prepared and a plethora of other detailed guidelines. In particular, the slaughtering of animals stands out among all other restrictions as imperative in kashrut. The Talmud explicitly states, “The Holy One, Blessed Be He, said ‘Since you are merciful to the flock of a…

A. Equipment Kosherization 1. I knew that there are various equipment regulations, but I was surprised by the countless and detailed regulations about food equipment, such as the use of pots, 24 hour rule, glass, recycling, and more. Among these, I was surprised by the how the use of pots rule is significantly strict. From this, since the rule requires the use of three different pots, I was wondering if most of Jewish families have at least three pots in their kitchen. 2. I was also surprised…

Providing Meals Meeting Religious Standards in Prison Food — it’s one of the basic necessities in life. People may like one food, but not another; or maybe they have an allergy and cannot eat certain foods.

Moreover, when someone cannot eat a specific food because of their religion, it makes sense that an alternative is offered.…

In class I learned about how the Jews were the “chosen” people of God. They were a special group of people who lived in a very exclusive and close-knit community and learning about Kashrut has just restated the same idea. Eating is something that one does every day every week. Whenever they are eating food Jewish people are reminded by the Kashrut that they are the chosen people of God (My Jewish Learning “Kashrut 101”). Being Jewish makes one enter an exclusive group of people. Eating out at a…
