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.
This is because Jews are not allowed to mix meat and milk when consuming foods and two sets of crockery and cutlery must be used in the kitchen at home. This stems from the law that one is not allowed to eat a calf in the milk of the mother. Apart from this saying alone there are many laws derived from what has been handed down orally through the centuries.
To become involved in this process takes years of study and adhering to all the laws as set out in Judaism. A slaughterer is called a Shochet and is the person that does all the slaughtering for the community. He must be well versed in its laws as well as keeping all the laws of Shabbat and the many others that embodies practitioners of this faith.
A shochet on the other hand, must be a fully practicing Jew and keep all the laws as prescribed by this Religion. This means praying three times a day and keeping all the holidays and festivals as well as keeping the Sabbath too. They also have to study for many years before qualifying in this job and by no means is this an easy task.
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.
