Keeping kosher means eating in a way that aligns with Jewish law. It includes only eating kosher animals (like cows and chickens, not pigs or shellfish), separating meat and dairy, and checking for kosher certification on packaged food. Dishes and cookware must also stay separate. Beginners can start small: buy products with a reliable hechsher (kosher symbol), avoid mixing meat and milk, and ask questions. As you grow, kasher your kitchen and learn the deeper reasons — from holiness to discipline to identity. Kashrut turns eating into a spiritual act — a daily reminder of Jewish values and connection to God.
