Why did God create kosher foods?
G-d did not create kosher foods, He created the animals, plants and other forms of life that make up the entirety of life on planet Earth. Later on, He made a covenant or agreement with the Ancient Hebrews in which the people that became Jews agreed to live their lives according to 613 strict guidelines and rules, known as the Taryag Mitzvot - some of which stated that Jews must not eat certain animals or mix meat with dairy. Why this should be is a matter of some debate - some people claim that those foods declared non-kosher (treif) would be liable to decay quickly in a warm environment such as that then inhabited by the Hebrews, whereas others believe that kashrut (the laws governing what is kosher and what is not) exist simply as a test of a Jew's dedication to the covenant. Others just accept them as chukim - laws for which no reason is given - and don't question what they see as G-d's will.

Are Jewish people allowed beans?
Beans, like all other foods that do not come from an animal source, are parve - that is, the laws of kashrut that govern whether or not a food is kosher, do not apply to them, Thus, observant Jews can eat them - and as they're one of the chief ingredients in the very popular traditional Shabbat dish called cholent, this is something many of us are glad about.
What kind of food did Hitler take away from the Jews?

Are you to have bread and wine on the Sabbath day?
A Jew is to have bread with every meal, if he can afford it, and to begin the meal
by reciting a blessing in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for him to have
the bread.
Whatever the eating habits of the Jew may be, the three Sabbath meals should be
the best, even if they can only be slightly better than the others. Wine is a most
appropriate embellishment for a Sabbath meal, and in fact the Sabbath dinner and
lunch ideally should both begin with blessings over wine, in gratitude to the one who
makes it possible for the Jew to have the wine.

The food at a Jewish seder all has symbolic meaning to remind them of Jewish slavery under the Egyptians and then freedom under the guidance of Moses. Salted water can be symbolic either of the salty tears shed by the Jewish slaves or the salt water of the Red Sea, through which they crossed to freedom. At a Jewish Passover seder, salted water is used to dip parsley or another green herb in before eating to symbolize the coming of spring and the perpetual renewal of life.
Which animals were considered Clean by the ancient Hebrews?
Any animal that would have been properly washed would have been considered clean by ancient Jews.
Most likely though, the question is regarding which animals qualify as kosher which means 'fit', not 'clean'. Ancient Jews considered the exact same animals as 'fit' as modern Jews do; any animal that both chews its cud and has split hooves as well as certain type of fowl such as chickens ducks and turkeys.
What traditional food is served in the sabbath?
Most of our cuisine (once it's kosher) isn't bound by Jewish law. For that reason, there's a lot of variation in such a minor matter as what is served at meals.
1) These are necessary at Shabbat and festival meals: bread and wine. Slightly sweet, braided challah-bread is customary; as is sweet red wine.
2) These are long-established customs: fish (typically gefilte fish, and especially at the evening meal); and cholent at the morning meal. Cholent is a slow-cooked stew of barley, meat and beans, with other ingredients to taste; but each family adjusts the basic makeup of the cholent as they wish.
3) These are common: soup at the evening meal; especially chicken soup (that's the famous "Jewish chicken soup" with its reputed healing-properties). Egg salad with chopped onions, and/or chopped liver.
4) Other dishes, including dessert, will vary according to family or community habits and taste.See also the Related Link.

Why are shabbat and kashrut important to the Jewish community?
In addition to being Mitzvot, they bind the Jewish people together in time and space, and make us holy.
Answer:
Shabbat and kasrut are both important pillars in our fulfillment of our covenant with God. By observing the Shabbat we testify that God created the world (Exodus 20:7-10) and took us out of Egyptian slavery (Deuteronomy 5:11-14); and kashrut enables us to be a holy people (Leviticus 11:44).
