- Hebrew National is NOT considered "kosher" by orthodox standards. A simple "K" without the OU or Star K is not acceptable by many rabbis.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many people ask this and they say..."oh, if the Rabbi blesses this food, then I can eat it because it would be considered Kosher?" LOL

Kosher means conforming to dietary laws--ritually pure--selling or serving food prepared in accordance with dietary laws.usually associated with jewish cooking...

Kashrut is the body of Jewish law dealing with what foods we can and cannot eat and how those foods must be prepared and eaten.

"Kashrut" comes from the Hebrew root Kaf-Shin-Resh, meaning fit, proper or correct. It is the same root as the more commonly known word "kosher," which describes food that meets these standards.

The word "kosher" can also be used, and often is used, to describe ritual objects that are made in accordance with Jewish law and are fit for ritual use.

There is no such thing as "kosher-style" food.

Kosher is not a style of cooking.

Chinese food can be kosher if it is prepared in accordance with Jewish law, and there are many fine kosher Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia and New York.

Traditional Ashkenazic Jewish foods like knishes, bagels, blintzes, and matzah ball soup can all be non-kosher if not prepared in accordance with Jewish law.

When a restaurant calls itself "kosher-style," it usually means that the restaurant serves these traditional Jewish foods, and it almost invariably means that the food is not actually kosher.

Food that is not kosher is commonly referred to as treyf (lit. torn, from the commandment not to eat animals that have been torn by other animals).

Although the details of kashrut are extensive, the laws all derive from a few fairly simple, straightforward rules:

==Certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals.

==Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law.

==All blood must be drained from the meat or broiled out of it before it is eaten.

==Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten.

==Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy.

==Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (According to some views, fish may not be eaten with meat).

In our community you must eat the fish entree, then your plate and utensils used while eating the fish must be removed from the table before the meat is served.

Utensils that have come into contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. They are treyf.

This applies only where the contact occurred while the food was hot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a little tid-bit about what is Kosher as far as meat:

There are ten species of animals listed in the Torah that are Kosher.

?American Bison
?Antelope (all species)
?Deer (all species)
?Giraffe
?Goat
?Pronghorn
?Reindeer/caribou
?Water Buffalo
?Cow
?Sheep

They must follow these guidelines:

Kosher foods
Jews can eat any animal that chews its cud, and has split hooves. For instance, cows, sheep, deer, and goats.
Believe it or not, giraffe is an animal that is approved.

Jews can eat any fruit or vegetable, as long as it is washed and checked to make sure there are no insects on it.

Jews can eat any fish that has scales and fins. This includes fish like salmon and tuna.

Jews can not eat the birds that are listed by name in the Torah as being unclean for people to eat.

Foods which are cooked by someone else or come packaged (like in a can or a bottle). They must be checked by a Jew who is an expert in Kashrut. The name for this person is "mashgiach," or kosher watchman.
Foods bought at the store often have a symbol on them to tell the customer that the factories have been checked.
Honey is an insect product made by bees, but it is kosher.

Non-kosher foods
Non-kosher foods are called "treif" or "treifa." "Treif" means "torn". This is because the Torah says not to eat an animal that has been killed or torn by another animal.

--->Jews can not eat animals that do not have split hooves and do not chew their cud. For instance, a pig has split hooves, but does not chew its cud. For this reason, it is not kosher. An elephant does not have hooves nor does it chew its cud, so it is not kosher.

Jews can not eat rodents, reptiles or amphibians.

Jews can not eat any sea animal that does not have scales and fins. For instance, sharks, eels, crabs, shrimp and lobsters are not kosher.

Jews can not eat birds that eat meat, which are mentioned in a list in the Torah.

Jews can not eat any insects, except for those that have jumping legs, like crickets.

WOW...I think I've said more than enough...there are several links you can use if you are truly interested in your question.

Shalom to you, my friend. I hope this helps?
The word "kosher" can also be used, and often is used, to describe ritual objects that are made in accordance with Jewish law and are fit for ritual use.
Kosher means that the animal was killed properly and the only used a certain portion of the meat. Like for instance cattle. They dont eat any of the hind quarters. It also means "clean". They dont eat pigs because they are considered dirty.
Kashrut or kosher are the Jewish laws dealing with foods we can and cannot eat and how foods must be prepared to be eaten.
Kashrut comes from some long word means proper or right way.
There are some connections with kosher foods from these anient laws being tied to health, but many of these laws have no known connection. In other words...why are we not allowed to eat rabbit, shell fish, catfish, and a variety of other foods? There is really no answer.
Basically what it comes down to is faith. The Torah says we connot eat these foods, and for the devout, they are not eaten...no questions asked.
I don't eat pork, but let someone try to take take clam chowder away from me.I'll bite their treif (not kosher) arm off!
kosher is a special diet that some jews follow

some rules include:

no pork because it's considered dirty
not mixing meat and cheese

And if you are really into being kosher then:
not using the same dishes for meat and cheese
or even using separate kitchens for meat and cheese

there are many other rules too

most food will have a little K on them if they are kosher
it is based In the Jewish plight from their time in Roman control.
where the leaders discovered or noticed the food poisoning of their time. of course God enters to guide them.
In order to protect the faithful followers many foods were condemned.
many other food preparation practices were installed
but many are a distorted view of respect and thanks giving.
Some how the 'bleeding' of an animal hanging seems more humane than an electrocution or gun shot of an animal hanging ..? i don't get it Dead is Dead
Blood in the meat NONSENSE you can not get it out..!
None of their rules have any place in today's society,,
the CDC,, the dept of Health,, hundreds of local food inspectors,, even international agencies guard our food
and still e-colli slips through.
Kosher - Halal,,, garbage- - - that just cost more.
just as silly as Organic.
I give UP...

It can get very complicated. Basically, it means clean. When talking about food, meat must be slaughtered humanely and according to certain rules. Certain parts of an animal cannot be eaten (the hindquarters) and certain animals cannot be eaten, such as pigs, shellfish, etc.

Dairy and meat cannot be eaten together. People use different utensils and dishes for meat and dairy, often even have different dishwashers.

Food you buy that has a kosher label on it was prepared according to Kashruth (kosher law) and was checked out by a rabbi. Many products are made kosher because the public perceives it as better.

A piece of trivia: Consumer Reports has rated Hebrew National hot dogs as number one -- and they are kosher. All beef. No milk, no pork, no by-products.
