#kosher — Public Fediverse posts

"Fewer than a hundred #Jewish people are estimated to remain in #Syria, scattered across a country where their community once numbered in the tens of thousands.

In the narrow stone alleys of #Damascus's ancient #JewishQuarter, the question of how to maintain #religious tradition with almost no one left to sustain it has become urgent, and nowhere is that more visible than in the search for #kosher #food.

#BakhorShamntoub, head of Syria's #Mussawi or Jewish community, sat down with Euronews to explain how a tradition that once sustained an entire community now depends on individual effort, occasional #imports from #Turkey, and packages sent by relatives in the #US.

#Kosherlaw, #Shamntoub explained, permits lamb, beef and chicken — but only under strict conditions."

"#KrispyKreme’s retreat from #kosher certification is spreading. Just weeks after six locations in #NewYork and #NewJersey lost their kosher status, #KSA (Kosher Supervision of America) has now issued a formal #kashrus alert confirming that all Krispy Kreme stores in Southern #California are no longer under KSA supervision as of March 27, 2026."

Is this article pro-trade war?! 😆 🍷

"#MaxKirschner pondered the #kosher #wine section at an uptown #Toronto #liquorstore, two days before the start of #Passover.

As he mulled over which six bottles to purchase for his two #Seders, he had plenty of options: #Wines from #Israel, #Italy, #Chile, #Argentina and #NewZealand lined the shelves. The #SouthAfrican #sauvignonblancs were directly below the #French #bordeaux.

There was something missing, though: any product from the #UnitedStates.

That’s because all #US-produced wines and #spirits have been pulled from the shelves across the province of #Ontario in response to US #President #DonaldTrump’s sweeping #tariffs. Other provinces have enacted similar bans.

Which means that, for the second year in a row, #Jewish customers don’t have access to some traditional, #kosher-for-passover options such as #Manischewitz."

"A new guide to #kosher #food at #MajorLeague #Baseball stadiums highlights expanded options for the 2026 season, including 13 certified kosher stands across the #UnitedStates and #Canada.
#DaniKlein, founder of #YeahThatsKosher, told JNS he compiled the annual guide through independent research and industry contacts.

“I try to do it annually if I can,” he said. “YeahThatsKosher is at the forefront of letting the kosher community know their options for #kosherfood, dining and travel around the world, and finding kosher food at sporting arenas falls within what we cover throughout the year.”

Kosher concessions are now available at stadiums, including #YankeeStadium, #CitiField, #WrigleyField and #RogersCenter. Menus typically feature ballpark staples such as #hotdogs, #pastrami #sandwiches, #knishes and #pretzels, with some venues offering expanded items like #brisket #nachos and specialty #sausages."

Big JNews!

"#Antisemitism is on the rise. There’s a war raging in the #MiddleEast. #Passover is bearing down on us and gas prices are higher than ever.

And yet one morsel of good news came to #Jewish faithful this month: #ReesesPieces are now certified #kosher #pareve.

#OU Kosher, the largest kosher certifier in the #US, announced March 12 that the candy-coated peanut butter candies are no longer considered dairy despite packaging that labels them as such.

The implications for kosher consumers are as momentous as they are simple: Reese’s Pieces can be eaten immediately after meat — or for the deeply adventurous stomach, alongside it — without the hourslong period #Orthodox #Jews wait before eating dairy again."

Observant Jews upset by meals wrongly labeled as kosher on Air France flight https://www.diningandcooking.com/?p=2557308 #AirFrance #Airline #DansDeals #FamilyMeals #francais #france #French #FrenchFamilyMeals #Kosher #KosherCertification #KosherFood #OrthodoxJudaism

"#Jewish life persists, even 4000 feet above sea level. Before I embarked on a three month #backpacking trip across #SouthAmerica, I was unsure how I’d be able to adapt my #kosher and #Shabbat lifestyle to destinations without any Jewish infrastructure. Conversely, I discovered that in the moments when I was most geographically isolated from a Jewish community, my identity was its strongest.

I spent the first night of #Chanukah in #Peru, staying with an indigenous family on an island on #LakeTiticaca: the highest navigable lake in the world. With my travel-#chanukiah in hand, I asked my host if I could light some candles for a Jewish celebration.

Bemused by the request, and unsure what a #Jew even was, she kindly obliged..."
