Kosher Eating

A healthy, balanced 40-day eating plan built fully within kashrut. Every meal is clearly marked meat, dairy or pareve — milk and meat are never mixed.

Guidelines

  • Only kosher-certified products (hechsher)
  • Never mix meat and dairy; use separate dishes
  • Wait between meat and dairy according to your family custom
  • Check produce for insects; fish must have fins and scales
  • Say a bracha before and after eating
