Kosher Food

Matzoh can be kept on the shelf in a sealed box for a year or so. If you want, you can keep it in the freezer for extended periods of time.

It should have kosher-certification.

DANNON products containing kosher gelatin are marked with the symbol K on the label.

To the best of my knowledge, the following Dannon yogurt flavors are Kosher:

Nonfat: Vanilla, Banana, Strawberry Banana, Blueberry, Strawberry, Key Lime, Raspberry, Greek (honey on the bottom), Greek Plain, Greek Blueberry,

Pomegranate Berry

Lowfat: Vanilla, Coffee, Strawberry, Cherry, Blueberry, Peach,

There may be others. Kook for the K symbol.

Kosher is a term that applies to Jewish dietary laws. Foods that can be eaten according to the dietary laws are considered "Kosher."

Examples:

Matzo ball soup is a kosher.

Cheeseburgers are not kosher.

The term "kosher" has also become a colloquialism for "acceptable."

Examples:

Wearing jeans on casual friday is kosher.

Picking your nose in public is not kosher.

So according to the literal interpretation of the word, you cannot have kosher feelings. According to the colloquial usage, inappropriate feelings (whatever those are) are not kosher.

Sweetex is kosher under the OU hechsher.

Hanukkah is a holiday, while "kosher" is an adjective referring to food which is made in accordance with the Torah-rules for preparing food. Celebrating a "kosher" Hanukkah, it would mean that any foods served during the holiday were kosher.

To simplify what is actually a rather complex issue of kashrut, as Zicam is a line of cold medication products, they do not require kashrut certification. If a medication is not hechshered and you wish confirm it is allowed, it is best to consult your rabbi for his opinion.

It can be freely eaten in any desired quantity by anyone who
genuinely craves to eat dirt.

People who keep kosher won't eat certain vegetables because it's too difficult to clean them of bugs. Also, not all supplements are kosher. If the vegetarian in question eats dairy and/or fish, the dairy products may require kashrut certification and the rules of kashrut limit what fish are allowed.

Additionally, any processed foods, including vegetarian/vegan products, require kashrut certification.

It means eating kosher foods.

No.

In order to be kosher, food has to be prepared according to the kosher-laws (see Deuteronomy ch.14). These are given in detail in the Talmud volume of Chullin.

* Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef and mutton)

* Fish have to have scales and fins. Shellfish are not kosher.

* Birds cannot be among those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only poultry-species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as chicken and turkey.

* Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as having been prepared in the kosher manner.

* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done by the kosher butcher, through salting, soaking and rinsing.

* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.

* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.

Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant. Foods which are purchased should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing.

It may not have to be refrigerated after opening - but it will probably retain it's moisture and flavor better if it is. If the bag recommends refrigerating after opening, then do so.

It is permissible and customary to eat hot food that was cooked before the Sabbath

and kept warm. Warming food for Shabbat lunch can be achieved by keeping an oven

on, using a hotplate, or using a slow cooker. (As long as the flame/heat is not

tended, increased in strength, or decreased in strength, this process of warming is,

according to Torah law as elaborated and detailed in the Talmud, not in violation of

the prohibition against cooking.)

Non-kosher pickles usually have the same ingredients that kosher pickles do only they're not made under kosher supervision and the ingredients used (vinegar mainly) might not be kosher.

An etrog (Hebrew: אֶתְרוֹג‎, a type of citrus fruit, usually pronounced "esrog") needs to be larger than a hen's egg, preferably large enough to fit comfortably into one hand. Larger etrogim (plural), which can be held with two hands, are kosher but are considered less desirable. Perfectly round etrogim are not kosher, but there are different opinions on the ideal shape - some prefer a straight-edged etrog, others prefer them with a "gartel" - shaped as though they have a belt (the "gartel" worn by Chassidic and Charedic Jews) around the middle. Slightly bent etrogim can be kosher but are not considered as desirable.
