- Brian asks, "What makes food kosher or not kosher?" So, first let's deal with a common mistake. Kosher does not mean that the
- food was blessed by a rabbi. In Leviticus 11:3, we read that the only animals that walk on the ground that are permitted to be
- eaten must chew their cud and have split hooves. So for example, and the Bible gives a few examples, a camel or a rabbit which chews its cud but does not
- have split hooves is forbidden from being eaten. Another example given by the Bible is that of a pig. We all know that Jews don't eat bacon, don't eat ham
- because although pigs have split hooves, they don't chew their cud. Now, even those animals that are permitted to be eaten, like cows, sheep, and other
- animals that chew their cud and have split hooves, must be slaughtered according to Jewish law in the way that animals were slaughtered in the temple.
- Moving on to fish. Leviticus 11:9 teaches us that for fish to be kosher, they must have fins and scales. So, anything that lives in the sea that
- doesn't have both fins and scales, take for example an octopus or a lobster, are not kosher. They're not allowed to be eaten. Another category of kosher has to
- do with the mixing of milk and meat. Jewish law prohibits any mixing of milk and meat. So, even if the meat came from a kosher animal and the milk came from a
- kosher animal, a cheeseburger made from that cheese and that meat would be forbidden because it's the mixing of milk and meat together. A last category
- of kosher food has to do with wine. Now, wine is not an animal and it's not milk and meat, but because wine has sacramental purposes and sacramental use
- and in ancient times, a lot of the pagan religions used wine in their ceremonies. So, going way back, the Jewish tradition prohibited the use of wine that does not
- come from a Jewish source, lest it have been produced for pagan purposes. So that's what kosher means.
