Kosher (from Hebrew kasher, “fit, proper”), term meaning ritually proper for use according to Jewish law. It is applied especially to the food that Jews are permitted to eat. According to the Bible only animals that have cloven hooves and are ruminant, that is, chew the cud, are considered kosher (see Deuteronomy 14:3-21). These animals must be killed according to the traditional rabbinical ritual and soaked, salted, and washed to remove any traces of blood. Milk or milk products must not be eaten with meat, and shellfish is to be avoided. During the festival of Passover, no leavened bread is to be eaten. These dietary regulations are today for the most part observed only by the Orthodox Jews.
