What does it mean to eat kosher?
Kosher means “fit” or “proper” in Hebrew. A kosher certified food means that it meets all the traditional Jewish law dietary requirements.The Jewish dietary laws are called the laws of kashrut. These laws specify which foods may be eaten together, and also point out how those foods are prepared.
The preparation of kosher food was guided by these laws for thousands of years.
At a kosher bakery
Items usually associated with Jewish culture, such as bagels, matzah balls, or challah bread may be sold in a bakery. However, this is not enough for the bakery to qualify as a kosher bakery. A kosher bakery, such as Zomick’s Kosher Bakery, is allowed to use only ingredients that have been certified as kosher. Also, it can only use kosher cooking methods. Regularly, these bakeries, including Zomick’s Kosher Bakery, are inspected and supervised by a rabbi.The owner of the Zomick’s Kosher Bakery explains that, in order to make sure that everything meets the kosher standards, a rabbi inspects the facilities and the used ingredients. Also, the rabbi examines the food preparation process.
For instance, it might be checked by a rabbi if a utensil came in contact with meat and dairy.
As the Zomick’s Kosher Bakery owner further explains, the kashrut law does not allow dairy and meat products to be mixed together. So, a utensil could no longer be certified kosher if it come in contact with both.
