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
