kosher laws
Jewish food rules
Kosher laws are the Jewish dietary regulations derived from biblical commandments and rabbinical interpretation.
They govern which foods may be eaten, how animals must be slaughtered, and which combinations are forbidden—most notably meat and dairy together.
Keeping kosher ranges from strict Orthodox observance to selective practice.
The restaurant follows kosher laws, so no cheeseburgers.
