An Understanding of "Kashrut" in the United States
According to Answers.com, the definition of Kashrut is the state of being Kosher and/or the body of Jewish dietary law. Of course, there are many more meanings to the word Kashrut or Kosher. It does not simply apply to food. It can be in the way people are treated. However, in this article I will focus on kosher foods in the United States to help make it easier to find a kosher restaurant in Los Angeles or anywhere else.
The Hebrew word Kosher, Kashrut, etc. are all different titles given to the Jewish dietary laws. In the United States and the English language, we use the word Kosher. The word actually means fit or correct, as well as suitable according to the Jewish law. Pigs are (for some reason) most notable when it comes to non-kosher foods. If an animal is not slaughtered appropriately or is killed ferociously by its predator, it is not considered kosher.
Orthodox Judaism has a much stricter way of it's laws than Conservative Judaism does.
In the United States, there are many laws stating that it is a crime if a company says that a food is Kosher when it really is not. This law is in effect in the following states:
- Arkansas- California- Connecticut- Illinois- Kentucky- Louisiana- Maryland- Massachusetts- Minnesota- Missouri- New Jersey- New York- Ohio- Pennsylvania- Rhode Island- Texas- Virginia
It is also a law in some parts of Florida and Baltimore.
According to Answers.com, there are many restrictions placed on food for it to be labeled kosher by the Jewish law. Here are some of those restrictions.
1. Mammals that live on the land have to eat food that they chew the cud and have cloven hoofs.
2. Birds of prey are not considered kosher.
3. Fish must have fins and scales.
4. Any dairy and meat products are not to be served at the same meal, cooked using the same dishes or tools, or stored inappropriately. They cannot touch each other.
5. A trained Shochet uses a particular way to slaughter animals known as shechits. A Shochet severs the jugular, carotid artery, esophagus, and trachea in one smooth cut with a sharp knife. 6. The blood is then removed from the animal. This can be done by broiling, soaking and salting.
7. If a kitchen has been used in a non-kosher way (such as a young Jewish couple moving into a new apartment) they must boil everything in that kitchen to prepare it to become kosher.
There are many laws in Judaism that pertain to kosher foods, but it does not end at just food. It is a way of living. It is the lifestyle of the Jewish and of the Jewish law. It has come over to the United States to appropriately welcome Jews into the country. Hopefully, someday all of the states in the United States will have a law on labeling foods kosher, and hopefully there will be more kosher restaurants in the United States.

The Simplicity Of Keeping Kosher
By Amber Jonas
There is simplicity in keeping kosher if you are Jewish. It isin the Torah, and not hard to decipher. One need not be Jewishto read and understand the law as stated.
Here are the basic rules:
1. Certain creatures may not be eaten, not even the smallestpart about them including their eggs if they are birds.
2. Any creature that is okay to eat must be killed according tothe law as written in the Torah.
3. No blood from any creature may be eaten; it must be drainedcompletely or broiled away.
4. There are even certain pieces of allowed creatures that maynot be eaten.
5. Meat may not be eaten with dairy, and may not come incontact with each other, nor may any utensils used on eithermay come in contact with each other.
6. Any non-Jewish produced grape product may not be eaten.
If you are a vegetarian, keeping kosher is your normal state ofliving. The very hardest part of keeping kosher is how to dealwith meat products. There is a very precise ritual in how tokill any living thing for food. There are very precise lists ofwhat exactly may or may not be eaten. Leviticus and Deuteronomyboth state anything which has cloven hooves AND chews a cud maybe eaten. Anything with fins and scales may be eaten. The fowlare less clear, but there is a list that says what may not beeaten, leaving everything else open for food.
Keeping kosher while eating meat products is difficult unlessthere is a kosher meat shop in your area, or unless the meat iswrapped and stamped kosher. To keep kosher meat it must beslaughtered by a shochet. This is not an average butcher, but abutcher who is a devout, and obedient to Jewish law. The shochetis practiced in slaughtering so deftly and quickly that it is avirtually painless process. Keeping kosher means there is to beno undo pain or stress on the animal that is being butchered. Ifit is found that a butchering knife had a nick, or the animalwas not properly dispatched in any way, the meat may not becalled kosher and may not be eaten by any Jewish people, thoughit may be sold to non-Jews.
The easiest way for a Jewish cook to keep kosher, whether inthe home or in a public eating-place, is to keep separateutensils in the kitchen. There should be pots, pans, andcutlery in separate areas of the room designated for eithercooking meats or dairy. This is, perhaps, the hardest part ofkeeping kosher for a Jewish family in today's world. Now,everything has to be so fast, so on the go; but to keep koshertakes time, thought and preparation. Once the food is placed onthe table, it tastes the same, looks the same and really, is thesame, as anything called non-kosher. Keeping kosher is not aboutthe food itself, but about the ritual behind it's preparation.

Kosher Food Popular With Health Conscious Of All Faiths

By Miklos Margaretten
Until recently, it was close to impossible for the kosher orhealth conscious traveler to keep his religious or healthymeals while in transit. Now developments in the kosher foodindustry are making this challenge much easier.
The health conscious and dieters are finding Kosher food isbetter for you and offers a very wide range of items anddishes, and this trend is spreading rapidly.
Keeping kosher means following dietary laws handed down throughthe centuries among the Jewish faithful. Kosher has its roots inthe Old Testament. Kosher laws are generally more strict thanU.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards.
Religious inspectors also rule out sick or injured animals thatwould be normally be accepted in non-Kosher markets.
In our modern world where most animals are often treatedroughly, keeping Kosher means eating a much healthier grade ofmeat.
Kosher tradition features a major group of foods known asParve. Parve includes a huge variety of fruits, vegetables, andgrains in their natural, unprocessed state. This is exactly whatmany people who are trying to eat a healthier, low-fat,high-fiber diet are looking for.
These days Kosher food is widely available and often can beordered pre-packaged via the Internet or mail. This makes aperfect option for anyone who wants to try Kosher, eat Kosheroccasionally, or needs a stash of good Kosher meals whentraveling.
Options include a wide variety of vegetables and salads alongwith meat, chicken, and fish dinners. Also available aresalt-free meals and veggie dinners for people with specialdietary needs. You can chose from menu items with traditionalJewish names to items that might seem to come from your averageneighborhood restaurant. The difference is that everything isprepared with very high Kosher standards for ingredients andpreparation.
People everywhere are starting to view Kosher certification asa mark of a food's superior quality, cleanliness, andhealthfulness.
