Definition: Kosher!

The word “kosher” is Hebrew for “fit” or “proper”.

The word “kosher” is Hebrew for “fit” or “proper” and describes food that is appropriate for someone of the Jewish faith to eat.  Kosher is the process by which food production obeys dietary guidelines set forth in the Hebrew Bible and established by rabbinical authorities.

Although the food and/or process does not actually require the rabbi to offer a blessing, the rabbi is integral to the certification process.  The laws of kosher, although spiritually-based, are complex and technical.  A well-trained and knowledgeable person of reliability – a rabbi – must be involved in the process to insure the strict guidelines are met.  It’s important to note that not only do all components and ingredients involved need to be certified kosher, but so does the equipment (meaning it does not come into contact with non-kosher elements).  Kosher food that is processed with non-kosher foods (or any derivative of a non-kosher food) would become non-kosher.
