Kosher Laws

Kosher laws are a set of dietary regulations observed in Judaism, derived from the Torah. They dictate what foods are permissible (kosher) and how they should be prepared and consumed. Key aspects include the prohibition of certain animals (e.g., pork and shellfish), the requirement that meat and dairy products never be mixed, and the necessity of humane slaughter for meat. Foods must also be inspected for contamination. These laws are rooted in spiritual, ethical, and cultural traditions, reflecting a commitment to health and holiness in daily life.
