Kosher Dosher...“I am a culinary Heretic"

  Bigger is always better right? This is a slightly different version of  my other Kraut recipe  except I made about 9 liters worth. See all those heads of cabbage, well that's what 20.194 lbs (9160 grams ) look like. These heads were somewhat small. They ranged from 2 lbs to 3 lbs. In my last batch, the heads were huge. So as previously mentioned I like being precise and I wanted to add exactly 1.5% of salt. After trimming and shredding it would have been a pain in the ass to weigh so I had an alternate idea. I saved all the scraps and cores and subtracted them from the total weight. That was more efficient and easier to do.  Organic Veggies..... they were cleaned but were not peeled. For fermentation, it's better not to peel. I want to keep all the good Lacto Bacteria on the carrots.  I used a veggie spiral cutter...... not a fan so far. We will see.  My daughter helping Dad shred the cabbage. This container is 24 inches across. Lot of garlic......

  KOSHER—BIBLICAL VS JEWISH by Avram Yehoshua THE SEED OF ABRAHAM To abstain from all unclean animals (food), is Torah (the first five books of the Bible: Genesis through Deuteronomy). To ‘keep kosher’ the Jewish way, is both Torah and rabbinic. There is a big difference. God requires that we eat only clean meat (Torah: Lev. 11 and Deut. 14), and so do the Rabbis. But the Rabbis go further. Keeping kosher means that one doesn’t eat any dairy products with meat. The Rabbis say that one cannot have cheese with clean meat, or even use a plate for meat, that once had cheese on it. The separation of dairy and meat, with the rabbinic injunction that it’s sin if one violates it, is based on the Scripture about not boiling a kid in its mother’s milk. The rabbinic view is that one should not eat meat and dairy together thereby avoiding the possibility of breaking the Commandment. 1  Of course, God never says in this Commandment that one can’t eat meat and dairy together, but this is how...

 Biblical kosher versus Talmudic kosher Solomon D. Stevens has a Ph.D. from Boston College. His publications include “Religion, Politics, and the Law” (co-authored with Peter Schotten) and “Challenges to Peace in the Middle East.” Solomon D. Stevens | Special to JT An Orthodox friend recently reprimanded me for wearing my kippah to a restaurant, which he deemed to be non-kosher. I always wear my kippah. I want non-Jews to know that there are Jews in the world who are proud about who they are and not afraid to be recognized as Jews. But beyond that, I believe that I keep kosher. I just don’t keep Talmudic kosher. For the Orthodox, there is only one standard of what is or is not kosher. I disagree, and I think this is worth discussing. Most of my Orthodox friends think that the main reason that their non-Orthodox friends do not keep their version of kosher is that they are not fully committed to a religious life. A smaller number of my Orthodox friends think that some Jews are just l...
