Etymology
The term 'kosher' originates from the Hebrew word 'kasher', meaning 'fit' or 'proper'. The practice of kashrut, the set of Jewish dietary laws, dates back to ancient times, with roots in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The laws govern not only the types of animals that may be consumed but also the methods of slaughter and preparation. The evolution of kosher laws has been influenced by various cultural, historical, and religious contexts, evolving over centuries to define what is considered hygienic and healthy within the Jewish community. The process of koshering has become an integral aspect of Jewish identity and cultural practice, ensuring that meals comply with religious traditions.
