THE GOALS The Torah instructs Jews as to the further prohibitions that are required to satisfy the laws of kashrut. One general law is that eating any blood from an animal or bird is forbidden (Leviticus 7: 26–27 and 17: 10–14). To ensure that this is achieved, once meat or poultry are purchased from the kosher butcher they are then koshered. This involves soaking the meat or poultry in water for a set time, laying it out on thin boards to drain, covering it with salt and leaving it for a set time, and then rinsing thoroughly to remove the salt. Although this procedure used to be carried out at home, today it is usually done by the butcher before the meat is sold. By observing these laws, Jewish people demonstrate their obedience to God’s commandments. Even an egg may have blood in it, and once a blood spot in an egg is identified, the egg is deemed not kosher and is thrown away. This explains why Jews will break the egg over a cup rather than into the mixing bowl when baking. Keeping kashrut has serious implications for eating out and socialising. For example, observant Jews of the Orthodox tradition will not eat any food in a restaurant where non-kosher food is cooked and served. There is also a restriction as to the availability and choice of kosher food in hospitals. Jewish pupils who observe these laws fully will bring their own food to school. Reform and less observant Jews do not feel under the same obligation to keep all the laws of kashrut. They may avoid pork out of deference to tradition, but would not carry out their observance of the laws with such strictness as observant Orthodox Jews. Based on the commandment ‘You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk’ (Exodus 23: 19, Deuteronomy 14: 21), Jews who keep kosher homes do not eat meat and dairy foods together. Meat and cheese would therefore not be cooked or served together. After a meat meal no milk products are eaten for a period of three to six hours. Meat foods may however be eaten shortly after milk foods. A kosher kitchen would be organised in such a way as to separate the meat dishes, cutlery, utensils and work surfaces from those of the dairy containing milk or milk ingredients. Every kosher kitchen is equipped with two sets of dishes: one for meat, and one for milk. Separate tablecloths and dish towels are used for meat and dairy meals. Foods that contain neither meat not dairy produce (i.e. vegetables, eggs and fish) and have not been prepared in meat or dairy utensils are known as parev (pr. par-ev). Parev foods may be eaten with both meat or dairy foods. As kashrut forbids the eating of dairy foods immediately after a meat dish, many desserts have to be parev. 34 RMPS: WORLD RELIGIONS – JUDAISM (INT 2, H) © Learning and Teaching Scotland
