people who do not keep kosher often say
hi difficult it is but actually keeping
kosher is not really difficult in and of
itself what makes it difficult to keep
is the fact that the rest of the world
doesn't keep it as we shall see the
basic underlying rules are fairly simple
if you buy your meat at a kosher butcher
and buy only kosher certified products
at the market the only thing you really
need to think about is the separation of
meat and dairy keeping kosher only
becomes difficult when you try to eat in
non kosher restaurants or at the home of
a person who does not keep kosher in
those situations a lack of knowledge
about the host ingredients and food
preparation make it very difficult to
keep kosher some commentators both
Jewish and Christian have pointed out
that this may well have been part of
what God had in mind as it makes it more
difficult for practicing Jews to
socialize with those who do not share
the same religion although the details
of kashrut are extensive the laws all
derive from a few fairly simple
straightforward rules
one certain animals may not beat natal
and this restriction includes the flesh
organs eggs and milk of the forbidden
animals number two if the animals that
may be the birds and mammals must be
killed in accordance to Jewish law three
all blood must be drained from the meat
and poultry or broiled out for diseases
for certain parts of permitted animals
may not be eaten five fruits and
vegetables of methods but must be
inspected for bugs fixed meat can't be
eaten with dairy seven surfaces and
utensils have come into contact with non
kosher food may not be used with kosher
food yet great products made by non-jews
may not be eaten and then there are
fewer rules that are not universal
so let's look at this in a little more
detail
[Music]
the Torah says that off the be severe
you may eat any animals that have cloven
hooves and chews its cud
and any land mammal that doesn't have a
book these qualities is forbidden off
the things that are in the waters it
says you may eat anything with fins and
skills the shellfish such as lobsters
oysters and shrimp are all forbidden
while fish like chinna and carp are
permitted for birds the criteria is a
little less clear as the Torah provides
a list of forbidden birds it doesn't
specify why the particular birds are
bidden below all of the birds that are
forbidden are scavengers off the wings
forming things a ka winged insects
appear specifically permitted but
scholars are no longer certain which
ones they are
so all have been forbidden and modern
kosher laws rodents reptiles amphibians
and insects are all forbidden and any
product derived from these forbidden
animals such as their milk eggs batter
organs also can't be eaten the mammals
and birds that may be eaten must be
slaughtered in accordance with Jewish
law they may not eat mammals the died of
natural causes or they were killed
Beller animals in addition animal must
have no disease or flaws at the time of
slaughter and these restrictions don't
really apply to fish
[Music]
the Torah bonds the eating of blood and
this is the only dietary law that has a
reason that's specified in the Torah and
that is that they don't eat blood
because the life of the animal is
contained within the blood this applies
only to the blood of birds and mammals
and not to fish thus is necessary to
remove all blood from the flesh of
kosher animals all fruits and vegetables
are kosher however bugs and worms that
may be finding some of them are
certainly not kosher
so for it's the vegetables they're prone
to the sort of things should be
inspected to make sure the contain new
books on three separate occasions the
Torah says not to boil a kid in its
mother's milk and the oral torah
explains that this passage both
prohibits eating meat and dairy the
Yeller and the rabbi's extended this to
include not eaten milk and poultry -
Yeller and most strictest forms the
separation includes not only the food's
themselves but also utensils pots pans
the plates and the dishwater ardèche
pans in which they are cleaned and the
sponges which they're cleaned with a
kosher household will have at least two
sets of pots and pans one for meat and
one for dairy I practice in Dumas we had
a significant by the time between eating
meat and dairy an opinions differ and
vary from 3d sex iers
[Music]
this is possibly the most complicated
section of the kosher laws and was
briefly mentioned in the last sections
utensils must also be kosher a utensil
picks up the kosher or status of the
food that's cooked in it or eaten off it
and that transmits that status back to
the next food that's cooked or eaten off
it thus if you cook chicken soup in a
saucepan it becomes meat and if he
afterwards use it to eat up some warm
milk the status of the pan is
transmitted to the milk and the status
of the milk is transmitted to the palm
making both the pan and milk a forbidden
mixture this is generally only applied
to hot foods and the rules are quite
complicated so if you're really
interested I recommend you have a look
for yourself the restrictions and where
products derived from the laws against
using products of idolatry wine is
commonly used in the red shields of all
ancient religions and wine was routinely
sanctified for pagan purposes while it
was being processed for this reason the
use of wines and all the great products
may have been unused was prohibitive so
if like me your analogy you can be
thankful that you don't have to follow
these laws as kosher is definitely hard
to keep unless you live in a major city
with the Jewish community certainly laws
were intended to keep people of Jewish
heritage separate from other cultures
and it's likely one of the reasons that
Jewish culture has survived the Despero
I maintain the clear identity in our
modern world thank you very much for
