What is Kosher?

In Hebrew, Kosher means "fit" or "proper" indicating that a food meets dietary requirements drawn directly from the Torah or Old Testament of the bible.
Kosher laws are known as Kashrut
Kashrut deals with what foods may be eaten, what foods may be eaten together, & how those foods are prepared.
These laws have been followed for more than 3,000 years.
Kosher food products are generally considered to be healthier and more pure as they must be "certified" by a rabbi.
