Etymology

The term 'kosher' comes from the Hebrew word 'kosher' (ื›ึธึผืฉึตืืจ), which means 'fit' or 'proper'. The roots of kosher dietary laws can be traced back to the Torah, specifically in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, which outline the types of animals that are permitted to eat, along with the rules governing their preparation. These laws were developed over centuries and have shaped Jewish culinary traditions. The practice of keeping kosher has variations among different Jewish communities, including Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, which may affect specific dietary customs and interpretations of the laws. Kosher food and laws play a significant role beyond dietary practices; they foster a sense of community and cultural identity among Jewish people. In contemporary society, kosher certification has also entered the commercial food industry, where many products are labeled to indicate they meet kosher standards, catering not just to observant Jews but also to health-conscious consumers seeking quality and hygiene.
