(2002 Third Year Paper) Citable link http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:8852119 Terms of Use This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository, and is made available under the terms and conditions applicable to Other Posted Material, as set forth at http:// nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:dash.current.terms-of- use#LAA Introduction Every waking moment should be governed by the laws of the Torah. Every action must accord with Torah principles. Torah law dictates which shoe one should put on first.1 There are also various laws relating to the bathroom.2 The Torah also teaches not only that one must pray three times a day, but also that the three prayers must each be recited during their respective specific time periods, as laid out by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.3 With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that the Torah regulates what a Jew may eat and drink. Upon completing one of its renditions of the Jewish dietary laws, the Torah states that Jews have an obligation ‘‘to distinguish,’’ or ‘‘l’havdil’’ (in the original Hebrew) ‘‘between the contaminated and the pure, and between the animal that may eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’’4 Rashi5 explains that the obligation goes beyond merely reading through the Torah passages that discuss these laws; rather one must learn the laws until he knows them, recognizes them, and is an expert in them.6 It is with this in mind that I now begin to scratch the surface of the Jewish dietary laws.

  • Kashrut Standards Outlined Within It
    OUR KITCHEN CONGREGATION SHA’AREI SHALOM1 “You prepare a table before me” (Psalm 23:5) I. WHAT IS “KOSHER”? A. IN GENERAL The word “kosher” literally means “fit, appropriate, acceptable.” The noun form of the word, “kashrut,” has come to refer specifically to the dietary laws of Judaism that define which foods are acceptable for Jewish people to eat, and which foods are not. “Kosher” foods are considered acceptable for Jewish people to eat; “non-kosher” foods (in Yiddish, “treif”), are not considered acceptable for Jewish people to eat. B. IN THE TORAH The general definitions of which foods are kosher and which foods are not kosher are found in Leviticus 11, 17, and Deuteronomy 14. According to Leviticus 11, to be kosher: Land animals must have split hooves and chew the cud (cows, for example; see Lev 11:1-8) Poultry must fly and not be a bird of prey (chickens, for example; see Lev 11:13-19) Fish must have fins and scales (Salmon, for example; see Lev 11:9-12) Leviticus 17:13-14 says that the blood of a kosher animal must be drained out before the animal is eaten. Deuteronomy 14:21 says that animals that die on their own are not kosher, and adds that it is not permissible to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. C. IN JEWISH LAW & PRACTICE Historically, the laws of kashrut have been taken very seriously within Jewish communities worldwide. At least three features of interpretation and application of the Torah’s teachings on kashrut stand out: 1 Drafted by Seth Klayman, February 2009.

  • Regulating Halal and Kosher Foods: Different Arrangements Between State, Industry and Religious Actors
    This article from Erasmus Law Review is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker REGULATING HALAL AND KOSHER FOODS: DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN STATE, INDUSTRY AND RELIGIOUS ACTORS Tetty Havinga* Abstract The Netherlands, like other Western countries, is a growing market for halal food products, that is, food products that comply with Islamic food laws. Halal food is becoming more visible as Dutch supermarkets, hospitals and schools decide to include halal food in their supply. This development has been criticised by animal protectionists and people who fear the ‘Islamisation’ of Dutch society. In this article, the regulation of halal food in the Netherlands is compared to the regulation of kosher food in the Netherlands and the United States. I will analyse the division of roles between state actors, the food industry, certification agencies and religious authorities in these regulatory arrangements. Contrary to expectation, the regulatory arrangements are rather state-centred in several US states (liberal market economy), whereas the Dutch corporatist welfare state plays a limited role by allowing religious slaughter and leaving the issue of halal and kosher certification entirely to commercial and religious organisations. 1 The Developing Supply of Halal Foods In 2006, the Dutch supermarket chain Albert Heijn introduced halal meat products in some of its shops to better serve Muslim customers. Immediately, animal rights organisations protested strongly against the selling of meat from

  • Halal Vs. Kosher
    Halal vs Kosher - Difference and Comparisonvisited |on Diffe 2/20/2019n Page 1 of 8 Compare Anything ›› vs. GO Halal vs. Kosher Diffen › Philosophy › Religion › Judaism Halal and Kosher are terms often heard in the context of meat and dairy, and although it's common knowledge that the terms refer to guidelines on what can be consumed and what cannot, few know what either really means, let alone how they differ. "Is this kosher?" has become a common expression that has transcended the context of religion and food to the point that it simply means "Is this acceptable?" in a colloquial sense. Halal and Kosher refer to what's permitted by Islamic and Jewish religious laws respectively. Halal is an Islamic term that means lawful or permitted. Although halal in a broad sense can refer to anything that's permitted by Islam, it's most often used in the context of permissible dietary habits, specifically when it comes to meat consumption. Kosher is a similar term used to describe food that is proper or fit for consumption according to Kashrut, the Jewish dietary law. This comparison will restrict itself to the context of religious dietary laws. Comparison chart Differences — Similarities — Halal Kosher Introduction Ḥalal is anything that is Kosher foods are those that permissible according to Islamic conform to the regulations of law.
