Kosher Food

* Kosher meat can only come from land animals that meet the requirements set out in the laws of kashrut. These requirements are that the animal chews its cud and has split hooves.

* The animal has to be slaughtered in a specific manner by a highly trained person who is called a 'shochet'. The process of slaughter is that the neck is sliced with a perfect blade that doesn't have a single nick in it. The slice has to sever the arteries and trachea in one single upward slice. This is to guarantee that the animal suffers as little as possible. When done properly, the animal loses conciousness within 3 seconds.

* Once the animal is slaughtered it must be drained of as much blood as possible right away. The internal organs are then inspected to confirm there is no sign of disease.

* Certain veins, arteries, nerves, and sections of fat must be removed as they are not fit for consumption. As a result, only the front half of the animal is used, it's to difficult to remove what's necessary from the hind without destroying the cuts of meat.

* The meat is then salted to draw out as much blood as possible.

* Because of the nature of livers, salting isn't sufficient. Livers have to be broiled to draw out the blood. A toaster oven is great for this as the process renders the oven non-kosher so it cannot be used for anything else.

* The meat is then cooked however the person desires. It cannot be combined with any food products that contain dairy or dairy derivatives.

eat and break bread .... well, not exactly bread. This is the "matzoh" holiday - unleavened bread (a lot like a cracker). Traditionally we do not eat bread, or anything leavened, for the entire 8 days of passover.

Kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws, govern the preparation and consumption of food for Jew. There is no conflict between kashrut and preparing food for diabetics.

No. The laws of the Torah are eternal.

Kosher Food, is food that complies Biblical standards as given in the Torah.

Land Animals must chew it's cud and have a split hoof.

Sea Animals mus have both scales and fins

Fowl must not be "birds of prey"

beyond that there is strict slaughtering procedures which require a very sharp blade that cuts both carotid artery at the same time instantly draining blood from the brain and denying fresh blood.

All blood must be drained from the animal.

A Rabbi must oversee the slaughter and butchering process of the animals while a Mashgiach supervises each step.

Stricter inspections are required for Glatt Kosher, which involves inspection of the lungs

Dairy for Cholov Yisrael must be inspected by a rabbi and supervised by a mashgiach

Meat (fleishig) must remain seperate from Dairy )Milchig) in process, cooking and service. separate pots, plates and utensils must be used for meat and dairy.

restaurants that are certified as kosher mush be inspected regularly by a rabbi. If the restaurant is owned by a Gentile a Mashgiach must be present during all production of food.

its a fast and a really big holy day holier then shabbat. Fasting is commanded in the Torah (Leviticus ch.23).

To the best of my knowledge equal is not real sugar. If that is the case, it needs specific certification for passover, which it probably doesn't have.

In reality, this is two different questions. The reason is that the term kosher meat refers to all animals permitted by Jewish law, not just meat that has been properly bled. Animals such as pigs, rabbits, shrimp, clams, oysters, etc, are not permitted by Jewish law, and are thus regarded as non-kosher, whether it has blood in it or not. Jehovah's Witnesses have no such religious dietary restrictions. The reason is that, as Christians, we are under the "Law of the Christ."-(Galations 6:2) According to the Bible, the Mosaic Law, with it's dietary restrictions, was "nailed to the stake"(Colosians 2:13,14) along with Jesus, when he sacrificed his life for all those excercising faith in him. So the Bible also says: "Christ is the end of the Law."-(Romans 10:4; 6:14) Therefore, JW's do not practice the Mosiac Law which includes these dietary restrictions. However, while the Mosaic Law was done away with by the Law of the Christ, there are some things that were in the Mosiac Law that are still included in the Christian requirements. Many people are familiar with the "Old Testiment" verses that say not to eat blood. This is of course part of the Mosaic Law.-(Leviticus 7:26) In the "New Testiment," the same restriction against the misuse of blood was repeated apon the Christian congregation. At Acts 15:28,29, we read that Christians are to avoid "...things strangled," and "...blood." Christians are not to consume blood, but they also need to avoid eating animals that are strangled, which would trap blood in the animal. Not all blood can be evacuated from the meat. Whenever a piece of meat is cooked, there are still trace amounts of blood that is cooked along with the meat, that is unavoidable. But the key is, was the animal properly bled? Was every attempt made to get as much blood from the animal as possible, or was it put to death in a manner, such as strangulation, that would not allow for the blood to be properly drained? While we do eat meats that are considered non-kosher, such as pork, rabbit, and shrimp, we would avoid meats from animals that were not properly bled at the time of the kill.

1. It must be a kosher animal (cow, deer, giraffe, sheep, buffalo, chicken, duck, goat, turkey) slaughtered in accordance with Jewish law, by someone trained in the field. The animal must not be stunned, the cut through the neck must be quick and clean and fast. There are very detailed rules that must be learned. The animal's lungs (if a mammal) must be examined to ensure that the animal is healthy.

2. The blood must be drained, then the meat must go through a process known as soaking and salting within three days of slaughter.

3. It must be cooked in kosher utensils that have not been used for dairy products.

There are other rules but those are the basics.

1) It must be made from the milk of a kosher animal. Butter made from camel milk, for example, is not kosher. (This is not usually a problem in the United States.) The only exception is mother's milk for a baby--but they don't generally make that into butter.

2) The equipment used to prepare it must be:

A) Kept from contact with anything non-kosher; and

B) Kept from contact with meat.

3) No non-kosher food or meat should contaminate the milk. (One would hope this were generally true for all butter!)

4) In order to guarantee that 1, 2 and 3 are followed, someone knowledgeable in the rules of kosher food must supervise the process. This is usually, but not always a rabbi.

Teigalach are the delicious traditional Lithuanian Jewish, round, small pastries, boiled in the original a Golden Syrup. Literally, Teigalach means Little dough.

They weren't prohibited without a good reason, and they were considered ritually impure animals.

Answer 2

The question answers itself. The Torah commands us in Leviticus 11 as to what species we may eat, and that is the reason why we observe those laws. It's part of obeying the Torah.

It can be, check the package for kosher certification.

No.

That depends on the fish oil that's used. Very often, shellfish oils are used, and shellfish is NOT kosher.

They do not eat foods that are treif - that is, food which is not kosher. A full list of treif foods would be impossible to list here and the laws that rule which foods are or are not kosher (collectively termed kashrut) would be almost equally extensive, so here's a brief explanation:

Treif - any meat from an animal torn (killed or caught) by another animal (the literal meaning of trief, includes game caught by hounds, carrion etc.); any meat from an animal not slaughtered in accordance with the strict shechita laws (which state that an animal must be rapidly slaughtered with a very sharp blade known as a hallaf or sakin, by a highly-trained slaughterer called a shochet); certain parts of an animal (the sciatic nerve, fats known as chelev, blood); any non-kosher animal (pigs being the best known, but also any mammal that does not have cloven hooves and chew the cud, fish that do not have both scales and fins such as sturgeon, all shellfish, birds of prey, all insects except for certain locusts and many others).

Some foods are parve - neutral, kashrut does not apply. All vegetables and plant matter are considered parve, though some - such as artichokes - which are difficult to check for treif insects are commonly avoided by Jewish people. Dairy products are also parve provided they are not consumed at the same time as meat - observant Jews wait a certain time between consuming one before they will consume the other (this period varies from one to six hours).

Some foods that can usually be eaten become treif during Passover (called Pesach by Jews) - these include any foods made using one or more of the Five Grains - wheat, barley, spelt, rye and oats - that comes into contact with water for more than eighteen minutes prior to baking (if it does, it is said to have undergone a process called chimutz, which roughly translates as fermentation but which is not the same as the chemical process known as fermentation). Food that falls into this category is called chametz and includes most bread, pasta, couscous and the normal matzah sold at other times of the year ("kosher for Passover" matzah are produced under tightly-controlled conditions to ensure they do not become chametz). Ashkenazi Jews - those with North European origins - also avoid kitniyot, a term meaning "small things", during Passover. Kitniyot includes rice, peas, beans, lentils, sweetcorn and anything else that takes the form of small things. Sephardic Jews, with origins in Southern Europe and North Africa, do not carry out this tradition.

Only if it's kosher.

You can eat fish some peskatarians eat dairy products and eat eggs, but mainly fish veggies and fruit. Like for me i eat fish,veggies,fruit,eggs(not fertilized), and i would die if i did not have dairy in my life i love milk.But don't eat any thing that has gelatin but you can eat kosher gelatin because its from the bones of deep water fish.

During the reading of the Haggadah (the story of the exodus from Egypt), we eat a number of symbolic foods. We dip a couple items into salt water, the salt water represents the tears of slavery.

Sinai Kosher Foods and Best's Kosher merged.

It's a meal with kosher dairy products.

In actual fact, provided it hasn't been made with animal fat or non-kosher milk (milk from non-kosher animals), all bread is parve - meaning it's neither kosher nor trief(non-kosher). The laws that define whether food is kosher or treif apply only to meat and dishes containing dairy consumed within a certain period of meat being consumed. Challah usually contains eggs, which are also parve, but does not contain any other animal product.

Many Jewish people eat kosher food. A pig is not considered a kosher animal. For an animal to be kosher it has to have split hooves and be able to chew its own cud (Deuteronomy ch.14). Although a pig has split hooves, they cannot chew their own cud.

Additional Comments:

Not all Christians eat pork as they continue to follow the Dietary Rules found in the Law of God. It would be fair, however, to state that the majority of Christians do not follow these rules as they have interpreted them to no longer be required.
