| | Kashrut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Related to the concept of kashrut being one aspect of Judaism is the practical outcome of maintaining a specific national diet which helps maintain Jews as a separate people, similar to the concept of reproductive isolation in speciation. | | | Similarly, the practice of Kashrut serves as a daily exercise in self-discipline and self-control, strengthening the practitioner's ability to choose other difficult paths. | | | People who have specific dietary needs should be aware that their standards for certain concepts may differ from the halachic standards for similar concepts. |

| | Kashrut |
| | Kashrut seeks to move us away from the idea that the spiritual life is defined by peak moments, rare transcendent encounters, by the 'reign of epiphany'. | | | Kashrut, however, is an opportunity and a system that can promote a daily spiritual practice. | | | We seek to internalize the idea that we achieve our greatest value in life when we are fulfilling our obligations to others, fulfilling our covenantal duties to God and to other human beings. |

| | Kashrut Discussion |
| | I think that when you choose to observe kashrut it is important to realize that, unless you are single and living alone, it is a process that may take some members of your family a little longer to adjust to. | | | But what I can buy into are two simple concepts: (1) paying close attention to what we eat, where it comes from, and not taking it for granted, is beneficial; and (2) Judaism already has a structure to do that (not only the diet itself, but particular blessings, and so forth). | | | I find the arbitrary contradictions incredibly challenging (how can a chicken enchilada be any less holy than a locust, for example) and I think that ultimately the desire to sanctify my eating habits will have to lead to a commitment to total vegetarianism. |

| | Shaare Torah A conservative shul in Gaithersburg MD |
| | Since eating is an important part of life, kashrut is a ritual we encounter all the time, a constant reminder of our relationship with God, our allegiance to the people of Israel, and our loyalty to the Torah. | | | It is a distinct ritual practice which defines us as individuals and as a community, reinforcing our sense of Jewish identity and uniqueness. | | | Every member who buys food and supplies, or hosts an event in his or her home, is helping our community to make an important statement about our commitment to Jewish tradition. |

| | The Case for Kashrut |
| | Rabbi Baars does not discuss the possibility that the purpose of kashrut may be to preserve tribal isolation, and perhaps to protect our people from discovering that others may also have a moral and ethical lifestyle which even might be better, more appealing or more spiritually satisfying than ours. | | | Could this be an unconscious understanding of the importance of Kashrut? | | | And perhaps one can never really appreciate how he or she would have turned out with a different, less healthy diet. |

| | According to this interpretation, the value of kashrut lies in submitting oneself to it even though it may not make sense. | | | I have no trouble extending the concept of kashrut to a stricter standard that adds enviromental concerns. | | | Imposing rules on what you can and cannot eat ingrains that kind of self control, requiring us to learn to control even our most basic, primal instincts. |

| | S.C.J. FAQ: Section 18.4.18. Reform/Progressive Judaism: Fallacy: Reform Jews ignore the laws of Kashrut |
| | For some, traditional Kashrut will enhance the sanctity of the home and be observed as a mitzvah; for some, a degreee of kashrut (e.g., the avoidance of pork products and/or shellfish) may be meaningful; and sill others may find nothing of value in kashrut. | | | The basic Reform philosophy is that it is a Reform Jew's responsibility to study and consider kashrut so as to develop a valid personal position. | | | However, the fact that kashrut was an essential feature of Jewish life for som any centuries should motivate the Jewish family to study it and to consider whether or not it may enhance the sanctity of their home. |

| | How much the more so must we be mindful not to inflict horrific pain on larger animals throughout their lives and particularly in the moments leading up to their slaughter. | | | Nevertheless, it is within our power to create a meaningful synthesis of tradition and change as we re-examine the laws of kashrut and tzaar baalei hayim. | | | I submit that if we are truly concerned with the spirit of the laws of kashrut and not only the letter of the law, we must ensure the humane treatment of such animals throughout their lives, not merely during their last moments. |

| | The reason that they were eventually spared from punishment was because they came out of fear of the king and not from a genuine desire to embrace the secular culture. | | | Merely keeping these laws while abetting activities that harm our relationship with G-d is a form of spiritual hypocrisy, since we delude ourselves into thinking that we are good without internalizing what Kashrut really represents. | | | A Jew should always remember that the goal of Kashrut is not just to eat different foods but to lead a different way of life which distinguishes him from gentiles in all aspects of his conduct. |

| | Bluethread Discussion: Why Kashrut? |
| | As Reform Jews we have always had mixed feelings about Kashrut, which comes from the Hebrew verb meaning "be advantageous, proper, suitable." What we don't eat, what we do eat, and why, has had a defining influence on the way we think of ourselves as religious beings. | | | Another way we modern Reform distinguish ourselves on this issue is our lack of knowledge about what the Torah actually says about food and the animals we use as food. | | | Many Reform congregations operate under a classic cognitive dissonance: even though few members keep Kosher and the synagogue kitchen is not Kosher, they expect their rabbi to observe Kashrut. |

| | Kashrut - Utah Hillel: The Foundation For Jewish Campus Life (University of Utah, Salt Lake City) |
| | On Leibowitz's view (he is following Maimonides here), the more tempting bacon is, the more valuable avoiding it is. Others, however, contend that one ought to train oneself not to desire non-kosher food, or that motive is altogether irrelevant. | | | Although some of the kashrut laws may have had health bases in ancient times, kosher certification today has no health implications whatsoever (except to the extent that religious observance generally is good for your health). | | | Since only Jews are commanded to keep kosher, most authorities agree that there is no merit in non-Jews keeping kosher (Leibowitz's analysis would mean that it is impossible for non-Jews to do so) and kashrut has no moral significance in itself (although particular rules, such as the requirement that animals be slaughtered painlessly, may). |

| | Reverence for Life teaching an awareness of what we are about when we engage in the simple act of eating flesh, is the constant lesson of the laws of Kashrut: | | | The removal of blood which Kashrut teaches is one of the most powerful means of making us constantly aware of the concession and compromise which the whole act of eating meat, in reality, is. Again, it teaches us reverence for life. | | | It is not enough that the animal must be killed in the most humane way, that the life of the animal is taken with care and concern, but even the symbol of life, the blood, must be removed. |

| | Kashrut, or "keeping kosher," originates in the Torah and is further developed in later rabbinic literature. | | | Another critical element of kashrut is that the blood of an animal may not be eaten, reflecting a sensitivity to blood as life-force. | | | According to Jewish law, meat and poultry must be slaughtered in a specific, humane manner, in order to minimize the pain the animal feels during the slaughtering, a process know as sh'hita (a shohet is the name of the trained professional who carries out the process). |

| | A few of the rules have some beneficial health effects, particularly those involving the slaughter of animals, which is done under the most humane and sanitary conditions possible. | | | Keeping kosher may seem complex, but the concept is simple: It means complying with kashrut, the body of Jewish law set forth in the Torah that stipulates what foods Jews may and may not eat and how foods must be prepared and eaten. | | | It is a misconception that the laws of kashrut are primitive health regulations made obsolete by modern technology. |
