I Keep Kosher
We use separate plates, cutlery, not glassware for cold drinks but separate coffee cups and saucers.
meat - all glatt kosher
Cheese- Kosher but not Cholov Yisroel - no rennets and a hechsher - a stamp certifying it as Kosher by a recognized authority.
separation of fish and meat.
veggies and fruit all washed
No out side food - unless from a Kosher establishment.
separate sinks, counters, ovens - stove elements, cookware, utensils, towels....
But we bend the rules on a dishwasher - we only have one and we use it separately.
Now the regulations - particularly passover - I have a huge problem with the one on Kitnyott - legumes - on passover - treated as chometz by Ashenaz and acceptable by Sephardic Jews - like most things the Sephardic Jews have it right - their tradition is older and far more original. The Lubavitch Chassim pray to the Sephardic tradition.
- unlike the talmudic interpretation of meat and milk having an absolute separation - the Torah says not to cook an animal in it's Mother's milk - so how do we have a problem with chicken and milk products? These rules are 2000 years old in written form - they were oral law for 1500 years before that.
Kitnyott - legumes - rice - this is not "chometz" the stringency for passover is totally artificial - rice is not levened bread - never was never will be. The term is "shas chometz - like chometz - but when pushed even the most stringent rabbi will admit that it is not chometz - this rule is followed only by Ashkenze not Sphardim and it is only 350 years old - it is malarky.
