Yea but you guys would go nuts. We keep a very very very strict level of Kosher. We have big problems going to non-kosher events due to our level of religiousness. It's a pain in the pooper, but yea, we keep it high. It's my hubby's family and my Mom really who have sent on the super religious vibes to us.

I know very little about kosher...but know I would be more than willing to try to acomodate you.

You have to cook everything in seperate dishes right and what else do you do??? I would be happy to learn so you can visit me

EarthyFreeSpirit · 11-30-2009, 03:11 PM

Isn't it just no pork and certain cuts of beef plus not combining dairy with meat? Or is there more to it than that? Either way I'd like to learn more

Melamma · 11-30-2009, 03:23 PM

Awww, you guys are awesome!
There is more too it then just not eating pork, certain parts of the cow and seperating dairy from meat. It's a lot to explain. If you guys really are interested, here is a link where you can learn all about it. It is long, but it's really interesting and you'll learn a lot. Thanks for showing interest!

Kosher - Kashrut - Eating Jewishly

EarthyFreeSpirit · 11-30-2009, 03:33 PM

That article was very fascinating. I'm starting to understand why it is important to look for the kosher symbol on food, and why in the big cities there are kosher restaurants. I did find it slightly humorous that is specifies that grains must be "insect free". I wouldn't want to eat grains with insects in them

he he he maybe we can come to your place next time!

CelticMomMA · 11-30-2009, 03:36 PM

or maybe do a meetup in NYC!? that way we could find the kosher restaurants --- !!

Farrah · 11-30-2009, 03:38 PM

And if all else fails I would take you to go eat at the Jewish Mother resteraunt in Va beach

I heard they had good food.

I think as long as I found somewhere that sold kosher food it would be not hard to do.
One time I was watching Wife Swap and the one family was very kosher where they even had two ovens and seperate dishes the new wife was very bitchy about the whole thing.

When I used to work at the homeless shelter there was one guy who used to stay there who was Jewish. Now I'm realizing why he used to get so stressed out at mealtime. I used to do my best to accomodate him with a separate meal, but now I'm realizing that pretty much nothing must have been kosher.

I kind of feel bad. So now I"m wondering about what happens when Jewish families become homeless. That must be so hard to eat kosher during that type of situation. Are there kosher soup kitchens in the Jewish communities?
