Kosher
“These you may eat”
-Leviticus 11:9
The Spiritual Diet
for the
Body and Soul
Eating Kosher food serves to bring home, on a very basic and fundamental level, and identification with one's Jewishness.
As long as Jewish involvement is limited to prayer, study, or even specific ritual acts, there is no proof that it has permeated one's self.
When you eat differently, your Judaism is not just metaphysical, but a part and parcel of your very being.
The observance of Kashrus consists of eating only Kosher foods at home or away from home. It also entails not eating dairy and meat foods together, and maintaining separate dishes, cutlery, and utensils for meat and dairy.
