Delicious And Nutritious Kosher Meals

By Brian Ellis


This type of cooking is not understood by Gentiles and is something that is practiced by Jews alone. Kosher meals provide many with nutritious ingredients and there is a lot that must be understood when purchasing these. There is a process that is followed and abided by that has been handed down through the millenia.

Shechting is a Hebrew word that explains the process of slaughtering an animal. Not just any animal but only those that are prescribed in the books of law that govern this religion both oral and written. The slaughtering is carried out by a highly qualified Shochet who has studied intensively in this part of law governing the procedure. The slaughterer is learned and is Shomrei Shabbos which means that he keeps all the prerequisites of what qualifies one in being a fully fledged practicing Jew.

For example, a Shochet or slaughterer is employed to do all the slaughtering for the community and is a highly qualified individual and well versed and learned in all the laws pertaining to this field of study. It takes years to qualify and besides this, he must be a practicing Jew as well and keep all the laws that govern this religion. These include being Shomrei Shabbos or Shabbat observant too as well as the many other practices that are kept by Religious Jews throughout the world.

There are many other laws that require studying one of them being all the laws pertaining to kashrut. This is the in depth material of what is needed in order to practice these laws in their entirety. Meat and milk for one may not be consumed together and this extends itself into the kitchen in many varying ways.

Laws of Kashrut extend to the kitchen too where surfaces must be kept separate when preparing both meat and milk dishes. These must definitely not be mixed as stated in the Torah or Bible. So it would therefore be uncommon to find a fully fledged practicing Jew or Jewess eating a cheeseburger for example.

All products used must bear a hechsher meaning that it has been approved by the Beth Din of that area. Many products from all over the world can be bought in supermarkets but if uncertain should be checked that they come for a reputable source. Making meals is not as simple as one thought and a lot of preparation goes into making certain they are also fresh and delicious.

These laws are about maintaining a sense of holiness. This is why meat and milk are kept separated as it is written in the Torah or Five Books of Moses. Foods that are not allowed to be consumed are rendered unholy and must not be eaten at all.

It is a vast subject and one that is studied throughout a lifetime. It is relatively easy to do as these laws are incorporated into the daily lives of many Jews living on the planet. It is wise however, if uncertain whether any foodstuffs are kosher or not, to check with the local Beth Din to ensure that one does not make a mistake.
