I am – Jewish Fact of the day: Kosher pt. 2



The Kosher series continues:

“All plants are kosher, but not all animals, birds or fish. Animals must not only fit the criteria in Leviticus but must also be killed in a special manner and have all the blood removed before the meat can be eaten by Jews.”

“These are the animals which you are permitted to eat … anything which has a completely split hoof and chews the cud, this you may eat …”

(Leviticus 11:2-3)
