I must express some appreciation to the writer for rescuing me from such a setting. Because of browsing throughout the online world and coming across things which were not pleasant, I thought my entire life was well over. Being alive devoid of the approaches to the problems you’ve fixed by way of your main site is a serious case, as well as the kind which could have adversely affected my career if I had not discovered the blog. Your good knowledge and kindness in taking care of all the pieces was excellent. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a point like this. I’m able to now look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this expert and amazing guide. I won’t think twice to recommend your web sites to anybody who will need guidelines about this issue.

Thx for your post. I’d really like to say that the expense of car insurance differs from one coverage to another, for the reason that there are so many different issues which give rise to the overall cost. As an example, the make and model of the car will have a large bearing on the fee. A reliable aged family automobile will have an inexpensive premium over a flashy performance car.

Many landlords will wish to confirm your references. Cellphone forward to alert possible references, including your former landlord, that they might obtain a call. Gather some info to current to landlords/leasing brokers ? they will probably ask for it, anyway. This should include a credit score verify, a resume and pay stubs or tax returns.

Is everyone forgeting this little fact. It’s your choice in the end! Religious restrictions on food are your choice, whether or not to adopt them it’s up to you.

And to those jewish people out there, are you really surprised that this is happening? You guys are the traditional scapegoats of european history, and in this time well… everything it teased about. It’s not like religious matters this much today as it is.

I am a convert, so I know from experience that there is some fine eating on a pig. Having said that, the Law is the Law; I do not eat the flesh of unclean animals. While it is true that many Jews define their Judaism in other ways, I still see no reason why a publication serving the Jewish community would glorify the consumption of pork. I don’t care that it’s “in vogue”, that it “tastes good”, or that it is “in so many dishes”. Certain bright lines must be maintained if we are to remain a distinct people, separate from the other nations. In the future, I would like to see more Shabbat recipes – pork, not so much…

I am a second generation survivor. Making fun of “jewishness” has always been difficult for me. Too much pain associated with the symbols. To me Mel Brooks is offensive, especially the Producers. If you choose to eat pork, that’s your business, but glorifying and at the same time minimizing it’s importance to some of us, should not be discounted. You are not in this alone.. have some respect for the sacrifices others have made so you can laugh and make us a joke. We are disappearing, people like you are contributing and trivializing our culture. If you believe in nothing, there is nothing to save.

This is so very disturbing to me on so many levels…
I am a conservadox Jewess. Yes, I have separate dishes, no I do not see the problem with eating chicken with cheese, since a chicken never in the history of the world produced milk. But I respect those who draw more distinct lines in their lives with regard to kashrut, since I believe they are doing so with honourable intentions, be they for G-d, for tradition, or even community harmony.

A Jewish person brandishing their pork consumption openly and shamelessly is as abhorrent to me, as i genuinely wish it was to all Jews. It was suggested earlier by a poster here that it is the same as breaking any other law. I take issue with that comment. Pork consumption is not simply cooking with this fat or the other: it was the most unimaginable offense the Romans could come up with in order to defile our temple.

Pigs aren’t just “the other white unkosher meat”. The pig is a symbol with specific historical significance which OUGHT to matter to all Jews, religious or not. Why not just wear a t-shirt “self-loather”? It is really strange that any Jew would use this hallmark issue as an ad gimmick. “Look how goyish I can be!” The symbolism here is what makes this particular violation so disturbing. What’s next? The grand opening of “Avraham’s Kosher Idols”? G-d forbid!

Oy gevalt.

What a foolish man.

I didn’t undertstand this article. There are many Jews who eat pork, who swear at their parents, who walk around with a chip on their shoulder, who honestly believe they are the centre of the universe, who dedicate themselves to repudiating any association with those yucky Jewy Jews, and on and on. So it has always been. So?

Sad, that the article nor the comments contain any reference to the horrendous suffering pigs endure in industrail animal production, from artificial or forced conception, unnatural birth, manipulated growth – steroids, antibiotics for quick, painful growth – existing in miserable cramped cells of steel and concrete, brutalized before and during unspeakable cruelty in slaughter – Then, reallly, don’t we have another reason, a darn good reason for NOT eating pork. Do it for the animals!

Jews have been eating pork since at least the time of the Maccabees. Why is this remotely newsworthy? Has eating pork suddenly become a sign of worldliness and sophistication? Latkes fried in bacon grease – now that’s classy. Yup. Yeah. No. Not so much. Folks can and will do what they like. I mean I don’t even eat meat, so what do I know. But still, this saddens me tremendously.

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is PRECISELY why Kashrut is still relevant.

Dear Ms/Mr Middleoftheroader,
You contradict yourself.What a JEW eats very much defines him.It’s from the Torah and a central feature of has set us aside and apart.Non jewish nutritionists have told me that not eating pork in those days and maybe today – is a very healthy thing with all the tapeworm around. And as for shellfish – they’re filled with the pollutants they live in.
That’s fine for them…i’m cool with that but I’m not a shell fishand i have enough trouble dealing with the pollution where i live in London. Why add any more!
As these idiotic chefs who claim it’s ‘cool’ to mix pork with traditional jewish food from countries where people who originated tghis food could be killed for keeping to their traditions. Well that’s just plain crass!Each to his own is fine but a little unity might help all of them have a kinder less offensive take on life and not just food!

We can all chose what laws to break, to regard as antique, silly, out of touch with modern times, and this is true for LEGAL as well as RELIGIOUS laws. But a person should know at least that he or she is violating that law, and that the law itself does not vanish in the fact of their personal denial. Goyische Yidden it seems will always be with us. My parents believed it was somehow OK to eat treyf food OUTSIDE, not in the house, which was kosher, and even as a tiny child, i remember saying, but it’s about US and our Bodies! Even as a tiny agnostic, i knew the difference. you know what they say about ignorance of the law.

The idea that pork products and shell fish are delicious and nutritious cannot be argued. Taste is an individual matter and always has been.

To argue that Jews in a “post modern” era should welcome the opportunity to widen their horizons in food is also true. My daughter makes a spectacular “Chinese cholent”. She and her Rabbi husband, kids and guests enjoy this Shabbat meal fequently. In our home we frequently eat spaghetti and meat balls using “Maria Angelina” sauce made in Oswego New York and sold in our Maale Adumim, Israel supermarket.(with an OU kosher label)

There are many other dishes from cultures throughout the world which Jews eat which are not on the palate of the effete “Post-modern” Jew.

But one thing is common to all Jews, aside from DNA, and that is Torah.
The eternal commandments set us apart. For those who find this distinction too much, go your way, but stop spitting on the heritage of our people.

As to David Rosen’s comments; I can only paraphrase the evaluation given by a Chief Bosun’s mate I knew in the US Navy 2 generations ago.
He was evaluating the seamanship of a new officer on our destroyer.
“Rosen couldn’t make a pimple on a real Jews Butt.”

My father was Jewish, my mother was not. I was raised in a pork-eating household, and I received training in both my parent’s religions. After 9/11, I decided to formally embrace my Jewish side. Part of that involves a form of kashrut I’ve developed for myself: no pork or shellfish unless served to me as a guest at someone else’s table. I blithely ignore the caveat about “seething the kid in the milk of its mother,” since the likelihood of that happening in today’s supermarket world is slim to none. I do this as a reminder of who I am and what I believe in, as a little sacrifice to my own beliefs. And when (once in a blue moon), I break these rules of mine, I do not feel guilty. It is my choice. And in this 21st century world, some things may seem in bad taste, but hey, to each his own. What we eat does not define us. If we are Jews, we are Jews.

hey commenters – chill out. believe it or not, there are Jews out there who define their Jewishness in non-theological ways (and still have robust Jewish identities). this site serves them — us — too. you don’t consider me (enough of) a Jew because I eat pork? no problem. but stop being so damn sanctimonious. Jewish pork-eaters deserve articles, too.

Kashrut is Jewish Torah Law, not tradition, custom, ethnic proclivity, regional preference etc. It is not like different styles of Chinese foods based on city or region, or same for Indian foods, Italian etc. The fact that many Jews no longer follow Kosher Laws, does not make it obsolete or out of touch. The taking of traditional Jewish foods, which were also Kosher and tainting them with deliberate treyfe, is far more than bad taste, it’s worse than offering a vegans something cooked in meat base, or giving the Pope brisket on Friday.

“It’s a little controversial, but so what?” Rosen says. “We’re not out to offend.” What a schmuck. A First-Team, All-Public Putz. But back up, David; I’m not out to offend. I just wanna be a little controversial.
Jewish food is more than food, bound as it is to religious obligation. It’s not merely “ethnic,” kids; it’s inextricably linked to ancient theosophy.
Many Jews, myself included, don’t rigorously follow kashruth. We, who are less observant, don’t consider that to be a source of either pride or shame. But there’s no reason to promote it with such juvenile fanfare, either. Labelling a bacon, chopped liver and challah sandwich the “Conflicted Jew” isn’t ironic. It’s disgraceful and disrespectful to someone’s religious belief, not their discernment of cuisine.
You wanna sell a cheesesteak? Fine. On your menu, call it “The Philly Original.” Don’t call it “A Shanda for the Jews.” Oh, and David? A yarmulke on a pig? That’s like putting a prayer shawl on…. you. Now THAT’S irony.

as I understand it, kosher is more than just tradition, but a defining sign of identity, of covenant with God; dabbling with pork is more than just a matter of poor taste.
