hello and web and thank you for joining
in today we're going to look into what's
kosher and what's kosher style is there
a difference and if so what is it so
let's jump into it first let's look at
what does it mean to be kosher kosher
means that it's fit for consumption and
no it does not mean that it's blessed by
a rabbi we can find many sources in the
Torah that states clearly what makes a
certain food kosher
what makes an animal kosher or fish
kosher so let's look into this more
closely what makes an animal kosher for
the mammals it has to have spit moves
and chew its cud so animals like cows
and sheep and goats and for the birds
that we are going to see chicken and
turkey as well what makes a fish kosher
it has to have fins and scales and these
skills have to be removable so things
like Solomon and trout are kosher and
fit for consumption
how about fruits and vegetables is there
any limitation actually great news
because there are no limitation any
fruits or vegetables can be
no problem but we have to be mindful of
what's inside or outside of them and
especially bugs
they are little creatures that creep in
everywhere and as the Torah tells us
that we cannot eat any form of insects
therefore it's important to check our
fruits and vegetables to make sure none
of them are inside or outside them for
us not to eat them what else is there in
kosher laws or in cash foods while there
general laws like not mixing meat and
milk and also to wait a certain amount
of time between them eating meat and
milk products we have been focusing on
Lois kosher but now let's look what's
non kosher what makes an animal non
kosher will be of course that it doesn't
have split hooves and does not chew its
cud so things I can pig rabbit horse and
for the birds any bird of prey will not
be kosher
[Music]
for the fish any fish that does not have
scales or fins things like shark heel
and for shellfish any shellfish is not
kosher whatever form it comes in so it
is kosher style kosher style is used by
companies to make us think that their
product does not contain any unco sure
animals will not have a mixture of meat
than milk and also will not contain
shellfish but the truth of the matter is
that kosher style product are simply not
kosher
there's no verification for bugs that
there are no certification on products
and therefore will run into trouble
let's take the example of marshmallows
that can be fine in many products
labeled kosher style inside we find
gelatin and gelatin is derived from
animal and usually derived from pork
therefore it's absolutely not kosher
even though there's a label kosher style
so why should we keep kosher why should
we follow these laws are they antiquated
laws actually they're not they're here
to protect us so let's see how keeping
kosher helps us with our self-control
because we do not eat everything that is
available to us we are attaining our
nephesh Hebei meat or animal soul which
is always telling us enjoy have fun eat
more dry more and torah is there you can
try a lot of things but to make sure
that not only it is good for your body
but also know that it has an impact
your relationship with the others and
also with I kept us cool keeping kosher
also helps us in our sense of identity
our booth
our unity because when we live the same
way when we have the same guidelines
then automatically it connects us it
gives us a sense of belonging and when
we have a sense of belonging then we
understand better each other and we are
kinder to everybody therefore keeping
kosher helps us to realize how United we
are connected we are and how we want to
pass this tradition down to our family
our children for generations to come
keeping kosher also protects us because
we know exactly what we are eating every
step of the way during the production
there is a bush Kia a special person
that oversees every step of that
production so we know what additive was
put in what kind of machinery they took
what kind of product they took and also
they make sure that it is in fact
poacher regarding needs we also have
guidelines to make sure that the animal
before it was shocked before it was
prepared to be eaten that the animal was
healthy that it was not exposed to large
amount of medication or antibiotics
therefore again it's a measure to
protect us eating kosher will protect
our soul our sages say that what we eat
is affecting our inmost self our soul
because what we ingest when it is kosher
will be imbued by the sparks of holiness
coming from God therefore when we eat
kosher it's a way to reaffirm our
connection our belief to God to a Kadosh
