Keeping a Kosher Home
by Rabbi Jack Goldman
Administrator of the Metropolitan Kashruth Council of Michigan
(excerpts from a series of lectures presented recently as part of the
JCC-sponsored Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment.)
"Our unconditional commitment to Torah and Mitzvot is marked by
of Jewish life down through the ages: the Sabbath, the Jewish Dietary
Laws, and the Laws of Family Purity. Central to these is the Kosher
Food Law because whereas the other two come into focus once a
month or once a week, the requirement to eat only Kosher food is
a challenge we must meet several times each and every day.
"By the laws of the State of Michigan (MCL 750.297), a product may
be marketed as 'Kosher' only if it is made under the supervision of
a 'recognized Orthodox Rabbinical Council.' The law, enacted in
1966, is intended to protect the Kosher consumer from misleading
and fraudulent advertising and from unscrupulous vendors who use
suggestive and deceptive language in order to ensnare unsuspecting
"The Michigan Law is quite clear. It enumerates examples of the
language used by those who are determined to base their business
on falsehood and deceit.
"In order for a product to be Kosher or Kosher for Passover, it must
be made under the supervision of an ordained Orthodox rabbi, no
one else. The statement that something is Kosher is a matter of rabbinic
testimony; it may be made only by one qualified to give such
testimonyThis is a special challenge during Passover, since many Kosher
foods for use the year round are absolutely forbidden on Passover."
