My in laws are more moderate Jews and don't keep Kosher anyway. If a Jew doesn't keep kosher there is really no reason to avoid pork products as nothing they eat is applying to the law of Moses. Kosher doesn't just apply to the food it also applies to the dishes and form of preparation. Milk dishes can't be used with the meat dishes as milk and meat can't touch. Some Jews have two kitchens to keep Kosher,two sets of dishes,flat wear even dish washers to keep kosher. So if a Jew uses the same plate for meat and dairy he has already violated Kosher. Then again if you really want to get into it if a Jew doesn't stone gays,make animals sacrifices or stone adulterers then they also are not keeping the law of Moses. When was the last time you saw and Orthodox Jew doing one of those things? I've seen plenty in NYC and I've never seen them doing that, so even the most devout don't follow their religion to the letter. Been to Israel and didn't see them doing it there either.Since the word Jew has racial as well as religious connotations there might have been some confusion as to whether these were so-called non-secular Jews. Jews in name only. I'm fairly certain that you wouldn't catch anMy father and sister in law are Jews and I've seen them sneak ham, so for Obama to eat pork wouldn't be a stretch as I'm sure Muslims do too.
Orthodox Jew or a religious Jew eating pork. No such Jew or Muslim would want to be caught dead with pork in his/her stomach. The next minute, hour or day is promised to no one as far as death is concerned. Why would they risk it?
no doubt you are a lovely girl Marianne-----but you know nothing about jewish law. In fact----jews were not stoning
adulterers even 2000 years ago or gays as a matter of policy---interestingly enough--Pharisee policy. Animal sacrifice
does not get done in the absence of "the temple"-----and for
all practical purposes was abandoned entirely ---almost 2000 years ago. If there still existed a law that a gay should be "stoned"----chances are SOMEONE would do it in Brooklyn
