Kitchen & Kashrut

THIS IS A WEBYESHIVA.ORG HALACHA MASTERY PROGRAM COURSE. TO JOIN THE HALACHA MASTERY PROGRAM PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION. For more information about this program please CLICK HERE.

Halacha has much to say about what we can eat and how we prepare food. In this course, Rabbi Dovid Fink will provide you with the necessary halachic tools for understanding how to manage your home kitchen in order to feel competent and comfortable when a decision must be made.

The class will focus on the laws of meat and milk (basar be-chalav), mixtures (bitul, notein ta’am lifgam, nat bar nat, the transfer of taste, sinks, ovens, dishwashers, and knives), foods produced by non-Jews (chalav alum, pat alum, bishul alum, and stam yeinam), hechsher keilim, and other important topics in kashrut. We will focus on primary texts from the Mishna through contemporary poskim with a view to clarifying the practical requirements for kashrut in the home.

Class description

Our first topic focuses on preparing food in a way that cancels or eliminates some prohibition.

For example, what does halacha say about adding a tiny amount of prohibited food to a mixture?

What does halacha say about grinding or blending vegetables that might be infested with insects?

What about heating honey or any other food that might contain insects in order to strain out the insects?

A source sheet is available through the links in both WORD format and pdf. In class we will translate and explain the sources.
