THE LAWS OF KASHRUT
KOSHER MEAL
The English word “kosher” is derived from the

Hebrew root “kashér,” which means to be pure,
proper, or suitable for consumption
-The food complies with the strict dietary
standards of traditional Jewish law
For many Jews, kosher is about more than just
health or food safety. It is about reverence and
adherence to religious tradition.
Traditional laws determine which foods may be
consumed and how they must be produced,
processed, and prepared
There are three main kosher food categories:
1.Meat (fleishig): Mammals or fowl, as well as products
derived from them, including bones or broth.
2.Dairy (milchig): Milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt.
3.Pareve: Any food that is not meat or dairy, including
fish, eggs, and plant-based foods
Jewish law states that for meat to be considered kosher, it must meet the
following criteria:
• It must come from ruminant animals with cloven — or split — hooves, such
as cows, sheep, goats, lambs, oxen, and deer.
• The only permitted cuts of meat come from the forequarters of kosher
ruminant animals.
• Certain domesticated fowl can be eaten, such as chicken, geese, quail, dove,
and turkey.
• The animal must be slaughtered by a shochet — a person trained and

certified to butcher animals according to Jewish laws.
• The meat must be soaked in order to remove any traces of blood
prior to cooking.
• Any utensils used to slaughter or prepare the meat must be kosher
and designated only for use with meat and meat products.
The following types of meat and meat products are not considered
kosher:
• Meat from pigs, rabbits, squirrels, camels, kangaroos, or horses
• Predator or scavenger birds, such as eagles, owls, gulls, and hawks
• Cuts of beef that come from the hindquarters of the animal, such as
flank, short loin, sirloin, round, and shank

-is described in the Bible as the seven-lamp
(six branches) ancient Hebrew lampstand
made of pure gold and used in the portable
sanctuary set up by Moses in the wilderness
and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. Fresh
olive oil of the purest quality was burned
daily to light its lamps. The menorah has
been a symbol of Judaism since ancient
times and is the emblem on the coat of arms
of the modern state of Israel
The Star of David is a symbol
commonly associated with Judaism
and the Jewish People. In Hebrew, it
is called Magen David (“Shield of
David”). A six-pointed star, the Star
of David is composed of two overlaid
equilateral triangles, one pointing up
and the other pointing down

ram’s horn and

High Holidays.
The Chai symbol can be worn by Jews
as a medallion around the neck, similarly
to other Jewish symbols, such as the Star
of David and the Hamsa. Jews often give
gifts and donations in multiples of 18,
which is called "giving chai".
The Hamsa Hand is an ancient Middle
Eastern amulet symbolizing the Hand of
God. In all faiths it is a protective sign. It
brings its owner happiness, luck, health,
and good fortune.

According to Jewish law, when a Jewish boy is 13 years old, he
becomes accountable for his actions and becomes a bar mitzvah. A
girl becomes a bat mitzvah at the age of 12 according to Orthodox
and Conservative Jews, and at the age of 13 according to Reform
Jews. Before the child reaches bar-mitzvah age, parents hold the
responsibility for their child's actions. After this age, the boys and
girls bear their own responsibility for Jewish ritual law, tradition,
and ethics, and are able to participate in all areas of Jewish
community life. Traditionally, the father of the bar mitzvah gives
thanks to God that he is no longer punished for the child's sins.
In addition to being considered accountable for their actions
from a religious perspective, a thirteen-year-old male may be
counted towards an Orthodox prayer quorum and may lead prayer
and other religious services in the family and the community.
