There is a lot to report about when it comes to topics such as this. Orthodox Jewish News abounds with what is happening in any community and around the world. Being of this denomination is not easy especially with what is going on in Israel and the anti semitism the world over. Be this as it may, it is still worthwhile discovering oneself in this religion and finding peace within its borders.
Kosher laws are extensive and are upheld by a Jewish Court of Law known as a Beth Din. These laws pertaining to this cornerstone of Judaism are alluded to in the Written Torah or Bible and to those laws that have been passed down from generation to generation encompassing the Oral Torah or spoken word. Firstly, generally speaking, Jews keep two sets of kitchenware for those that are used to consume meat products and milk products.
This means only buying products that have been checked and certified by a Court of Law. All products consumed must carry the logo imprinted on the packaging from an authorised body. This can be seen on the product and is donated by varying symbols all over the world. Apart from this, there are other practicalities that must be followed in the kitchen such as having a separate zinc to do the meat washing up and a separate one for the milk dishes.
Laws from the Written Torah or Bible as well as those that have been passed down verbally through the generations must be strictly adhered to in order to render an animal kosher for consumption. Apart from this the meat is also salted and drained of excess blood before allowed to be passed for consumption. It is thoroughly checked for any sort of disease which may render it not clean and this too is carried out by the shochet.
If one is a meat eater then only certain animals can be consumed. These must have a cloven hoof and chew the cud. This does not mean that one can go out and purchase any meat of this sort but must assure that they are animals that have been slaughtered by a shochet or ritual slaughterer also administered by a Court of Law.
Not only must this person be well versed in all the laws pertaining to kashrut but they must also pray three times a day, keep the Shabbat, keep the laws and practices surrounding the Festivals and must be certified to do so by a Court of Law. The Shabbat is the seventh day of rest that all Jews keep to commemorate the six days of creation where God rested on the seventh day and ceased from creating. It is because of this that no manner of work is done on this day.
All updates to products that many be consumed are handled by the Beth Din. These do change from time to time and a booklet is put out describing what products may be consumed and which cannot. It is governed by strict laws so that no mistakes are made and Jews can be confident that they are purchasing only kosher products.
Being born into it makes things simpler. If not it can prove challenging. For many it is a path well worth following day to day and year to year.
