Kosher means when something is 'fit'. And yes, the rules of kashrut do cover things other than food. An example would be mixing fabric fibres which is not allowed according to the rules of kashrut.

Kosher refers to anything that is fit for Jewish people to use. Non food items that must be certified kosher include:

  • Dish soap
  • Torah scrolls
  • T'fillin
  • Tallit
  • Lulav
  • Mezuzah
  • Hanukkah Menorah (called a Chanukiyah)
  • cloth (can't be a blend of animal fibers and plant fibers)
  • Many many other things

What do you mean you talk about kosher foods?

The word kosher means 'fit'. When describing food as kosher, this means that the food in question is considered fit for eating by religiously observant Jews.
