	Judaism 101: Kashrut: Jewish Dietary Laws
		Kashrut is the body of Jewish law dealing with what foods we can and cannot eat and how those foods must be prepared and eaten.
		In addition, some of the health benefits to be derived from kashrut were not made obsolete by the refrigerator.
		A Jew who observes the laws of kashrut cannot eat a meal without being reminded of the fact that he is a Jew.

	Kashrut: Jewish Dietary Laws / Torah 101 / Mechon Mamre
		The shochet is not simply a butcher; he must be a pious man, well-trained in Jewish law, particularly as it relates to kashrut. In smaller, more remote communities, the rabbi and the shochet were often the same person.
		Dishwashers are a kashrut problem. If you are going to use a dishwasher in a kosher home, you either need to have separate dish racks or you need to run the dishwasher in between meat and dairy loads.
		The symbols at right are all widely-accepted kashrut certifications commonly found on products throughout the United States. With a little practice, it is very easy to spot these marks on food labels, usually near the product name, occasionally near the list of ingredients. There are many other certifications available, of varying degrees of strictness.

	USCJ: Kashrut
		Kashrut, or "keeping kosher," originates in the Torah and is further developed in later rabbinic literature.
		Another critical element of kashrut is that the blood of an animal may not be eaten, reflecting a sensitivity to blood as life-force.

	The Case for Kashrut
		Because to find Kashrut meaningful, one has to believe in a God Who "knows" this world and cares to reveal its secrets to us.
		If a healthy soul is at least as important to you as a healthy body, then the case for Kashrut is at least as valid as the case for cutting down on salt, sugar and saturated fats.
		Rabbi Baars does not discuss the possibility that the purpose of kashrut may be to preserve tribal isolation, and perhaps to protect our people from discovering that others may also have a moral and ethical lifestyle which even might be better, more appealing or more spiritually satisfying than ours.

		The basic laws of kashrut are in the Torah and their details are explicated in the oral law, contained in the Mishnah and the Talmud.
		The Reconstructionist movement advocates that its members accept some of the rules of kashrut, but does so in a non-binding fashion; their stance on kashrut is the same as the tradition-leaning wing of Reform.
		In the last century the laws of kashrut have become much stricter in the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community; they refuse to eat many vegetables, such as broccoli, because they hold that such vegetables are too difficult to remove tiny insects from.

		Related to the concept of kashrut being one aspect of Judaism as a separate people is the practical outcome of maintaining a specific national diet, similar to the concept of reproductive isolation in speciation.
		There is also the suggestion of a practical aspect to some of the laws of Kashrut; for instance, the pig would not be a wise choice of domestic animal for a nation which was, at the time, a nomadic desert tribe.

	Kashrut
		It is not enough that the animal must be killed in the most humane way, that the life of the animal is taken with care and concern, but even the symbol of life, the blood, must be removed.
		The removal of blood which Kashrut teaches is one of the most powerful means of making us constantly aware of the concession and compromise which the whole act of eating meat, in reality, is. Again, it teaches us reverence for life.
		Kashrut cannot be understood by itself; it is part of something larger.

	Kashrut Overview
		The basic laws of kashrut are in the Torah's Book of Leviticus, with their details set down in the oral law (the Mishnah and the Talmud) and codified by the Shulkhan Arukh and later rabbinical authorities.
		Modern halakha (Jewish law) on kashrut classifies the flesh of both mammals and birds as "meat"; fish are considered to be pareve (neither meat nor dairy).
		A solitary K is sometimes used as a symbol for kashrut, but as this symbol cannot be trademarked (the method by which other symbols are protected from misuse), it does not indicate anything other than the fact that the company producing the food considers it to be kosher.

	Talk:Kashrut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The article stated that Bishul Yisra'el literally meant "Cooking of a Jew." Since the confusion of Israel and Judah is a long-running pet peeve of mine, I have corrected the literal translation to "Cooking of Israel," though the figurative definition (supervised by an Orthodox Jew) remains.
		If they have criticism of kashrut in particular, that could be put here, but if their criticism is only an example of their general rejection of Jewish law, then this is NOT the place for it, and it should go in the Halacha or Reform Judaism articles.
		There should be a similarly objective section on Kashrut, discussing how historians say its strictures may have arisen simply as a series of habits cum-taboos codified into law out of sheer force of cultural habit.

	Shaare Torah A conservative shul in Gaithersburg MD (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since eating is an important part of life, kashrut is a ritual we encounter all the time, a constant reminder of our relationship with God, our allegiance to the people of Israel, and our loyalty to the Torah.
		Ovens (see above for kashrut standards) may be set on a timer to go on and off at appropriate times during Shabbat or the Holiday, or must be turned on before the start of the Shabbat/Holiday and left on for the duration of the Shabbat or Holiday.
		The rabbi will hold classes on kashrut open to the congregation, but specifically for members of the ritual committee and those likely to host or plan events, to make the process of buying, preparing, and serving food as easy as possible.

		The “Standards for Synagogue Practice” of the United Synagogue affirm, “Recognizing kashrut as another basic tenet of Judaism, congregations shall take all steps necessary to ensure proper observance of kashrut at all functions on the premises of the synagogue and at functions away from the synagogue which are held under their auspices.”
		Kashrut, along with the blessings and rituals of meals, raises the act of eating from merely satisfying an appetite to a consecrated act.
		Kashrut, through its rules of humane slaughter, and through limiting the kinds of creatures we can eat, is a way of enacting reverence for life and understanding that consumption of the flesh of living creatures is a Divine compromise with human nature.

	Kashrut
		Kashrut at its essence is a ritual that seeks to translate the daily act of eating into a sacred undertaking.
		Kashrut seeks to move us away from the idea that the spiritual life is defined by peak moments, rare transcendent encounters, by the 'reign of epiphany'.
		Obviously, the ultimate endeavor of kashrut, according to the Torah, is an undertaking in holiness.

		Many of the basic laws of kashrut are in the Torah's Book of Leviticus, with their details set down in the oral law (the Mishnah and the Talmud) and codified by the Shulchan Arukh and later rabbinical authorities.
		Kashrut requires all animals (and birds) to be slaughtered by a trained individual (a Shochet) using a special method of slaughter, shechita.
		Specific Kashrut laws counter some of the rituals of ancient times such eating only one leg of a live animal so that people would not have to deal with eating the entire animal at one time (Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 56b); this law applies even to non-Jews and is part of the Noahide Laws.

		Kashrut, then, is a symbolic expression of Jewishness: Israel distinguishes between kosher and non-kosher animals, permitted and prohibited fish and fowl, and ingestible and forbidden insects in order to remind itself, and inform others, of the separation between the Jewish people and the other nations of the world.
		The nature of kashrut is thus at once mysterious and obvious; while God does not explain the importance of cud-chewing or leaping, of split hooves or scales, the Bible insists that it be perfectly clear to the non-Jew that the Tora-observant Israelite lives a life that reminds him constantly of his unique relationship with God.
		Kashrut, for the rabbis, expresses this message; the dietary laws are a symbolic expression not only of an individual’s Jewishness, but also of the collective familial and national nature of that chosen status.

	Malka Drucker: Eco-Kashrut
		Kashrut is a spiritual practice designed to make us morally sensitive and compassionate.
		And in truth, the laws of kashrut made eating meat so difficult that most Jews until modern times were lucky if they ate meat, meaning red meat and fowl, once a week.
		We are not only commanded to follow the law of kashrut, we are commanded to sanctify ourselves by blessing the food we eat.

	Re'eh UJ - University of Judaism
		So central, in fact, is kashrut, that it has became the way to refer to any action or person that is moral, upright, and proper.
		While the general principles of kashrut are simple to list, the details of their application fill volumes.
		Because kashrut restricts the number of animals that may be eaten, and then insists that the method of slaughter be strictly regulated, kashrut makes sure that the animal’s death is as painless as possible.
