What does kosher mean? The simple answer!

Posted on Oct 21, 2024 / Health

The word "kosher" usually translates from Hebrew as "suitable" or "appropriate". In most cases we are talking about food that is allowed or prohibited to a Jewish believer.

The Jewish religion sets very strict rules for food to be kosher. For example you cannot eat pork if you are a religious Jew. But the term "kosher" is used not only when talking about food, but for everything that is allowed or prohibited by the Jewish religion. Even a book of Torah can be non-kosher if there is a proven mistake in its text. Most supermarkets and food stores in Israel are Kosher as well as 90% of food produced there.
