Talk:Kosher foods

Igredient readint

Why just mention conservatives? this is a common practice among many Sephardim and Orthodox, Rabbi Yitschok Abadi, who is one of this generations most revered Poseks allows this

No mixing of meat and dairy

I. Biblical times

The pasuk "You shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk" is misleading as cannibalism. There should be an explanation that the pasuk is meaning a young goat, not an actual kid, though young goat is also a 'kid'. I have added "(where 'kid' stands for 'young goat', not a human kid)" after the pasuk". Hope it's ok...

• edit*

in hebrew it's: "lo tevashel gedi be'chalev imo". anyone might wanna add that...

• another edit*

if i'm already reading XD III. Medieval period

ends with "However, it is best to wait six hours like the Sephardim.[5]" it sounds like "the right thing to do", but I personally don't wait more than 2-3 hours. only REALLY STRICT people wait actually 6 hours. "it is best to wait six hours" sounds unneutral, like wikipedia is telling us it's opinion. anyway, just look at it and do what you think... I find it bothersome. waiting 6 hours is not the 'best' thing to do. it is the strict thing to do.

Focus

this article seems to hit the major foods and topics raised by certain foods, but doesn't really draw near a "laws of kashrus" type of article. is it even trying to be that kind of article? there really needs to be an article that *would* hit on the actual rubric for keeping kosher.

and, while i'm complaining, it seems that the kashrut article is mostly a teaser, describing kashrus, while also refraining from a full description of how one keeps kosher.

Schechita

I have edited the following for style and accuracy. I'm not an expert on Kosher slaughter so perhaps someone with more knowledge could re-check it. Also it overlaps with the Shechita.

An interesting fact, little-known outside of Jewish communities, is that the hindquarters of a mammal are not kosher unless the sciatic nerve and the fat surrounding it are removed (Genesis 32, last verse). This is a very time-consuming process demanding a great deal of special training, and is rarely done outside Israel, where there is a greater demand for kosher meat, since all meat sold in Jewish towns is required to be kosher by law. When it is not done, the hindquarters of the animal are sold for non-kosher meat.

Funny wording?

Eggs are considered pareve despite being an animal product.[25]

This phrasing is strange, because most animal products can be kosher. Maybe this is being confused with vegetarianism? 57.135.233.22 (talk) 21:15, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

In Jewish law, meat cannot be eaten with milk, but this sentence is informing us that eggs, being derived from poultry, are not considered "meat" and can be eaten with milk, even though poultry itself cannot (due to a rabbinic prohibition). Hope this helps. StonyBrook _babble 02:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
