What Is the Meaning of Kosher?
Chabad.org
Kosher refers to the set of dietary laws observed in Judaism detailing what is permissible for consumption and how food should be prepared. Contrary to popular belief, kosher does not require a rabbi's blessing, nor does it imply that the food is healthier than non-kosher options. The laws of kashrut originate from the Torah and include guidelines such as the separation of meat and dairy, the prohibition of certain animals, and certification processes ensuring compliance. These regulations have both spiritual and cultural significance, serving to unify Jewish communities around the world.
