Jeanway 0 Posted May 25, 2004 I love Kosher. I have enjoyed it most of my life. I know that during the killing of animals it's very humane and clean. You don't drink milk with beef, that's an insult to the cow. I love the pickles, and krepla, and bintzes, and Matza ball soup, and Matza, Gelfilte fish with sour cream, Borscht, uh, and those little meat pies, what are they called I forget. Pastrami in the mid-west is nothing like it is on the East Coast, HELP!!!! I would kill for a nice pastrami on a hard roll with mustard right now and a nice glass of tea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCrystal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 The family secret on both my parents side is that there may have been those that are Jewish. It's just a whisper that my mother's father may have been and on my father's side as well but it's kept a tightly guarded secret, like they're still afraid Hitler is going to come out of his grave and kill them. Also distantly on my mother's side a person in my family may have been partially black and we have Cherokee Indians in the bloodline too. Dad is second generation German that was born in America. All his siblings insist that they are Catholic now but his family left Germany very quickly and there had to be a reason to leave everything behind and come to America with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Yes, I buy my Hebrew Nationals because I know they are Kosher which means blessed by a Rabbi and made under very strict guidelines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted May 25, 2004 HELP!!!! I would kill for a nice pastrami on a hard roll with mustard right now Damnit, why do I have to check these boards after I already bought dinner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeanway 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Oh, BC, I know what your talking about. I knew older Jewish people when I was a child who were still afraid. It's terrible. They would cry and try to explain but they were even afraid to explain. They're all gone now but I remember them. I love the Jewish people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted May 25, 2004 I had a friend that was Jewish and she told me a lot about it. She wasn't Kosher but her brother was and so her mom had to keep separate untensils and dishes for when his family visited. I don't remember a lot but I know it had something to do with the dietary laws given in the Pentateuch or the first five books of what Christians refer to as the Old Testament. I remember the part about not putting meat and dairy products on the same plate. And I know that Kosher food has to be prepared according to specific guidelines to be labeled Kosher. There isn't a big market for Kosher food where I live. Here, if it can't be barbecued or battered and deep fried it isn't food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCrystal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) I know a lady were I work, she's a customer and she's Polish. She wears gloves almost always and upon occassion when I have seen her hands she had a number tattooed across one. She looked very frightened that I saw the number and I knew what the numbers were and meant. She was a survivor and with or without those gloves I pray nothing like that ever happens to another race of people. After my working many years at the company she is very relaxed with me now and doesn't worry about me seeing her hands. She must of been a very small child when she was tattooed but it was burned into her brain the fear and the pain all her life and who knows if she was orphaned because of Hitler.

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted May 25, 2004 OK, this is what I don't get. Isn't "Jewish" an adjective meaning "like a Jew"? We don't refer to Christians as "Christianish" do we? What's wrong with calling them Jews? It is not a bad word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nemesis 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Well not really health issues Tina, it was because hooved animals would hurt the land that they settled on and it was a tradition that stuck. Well anyways my girlfriend is Jewish and her family practices Kosher, they aren't as strict with it as some are though <_< . A funny story actually, when my girlfriend came back from Isreal she had gotten my friend a shirt that said "100% Kosher" on it. We went out for breakfast there were four of us, my girlfriend, bestfriend, and another friend. Well when we were ordering our food my friend asked for a side order of bacon and the waitress gave him a strange look. One of those things you need to be there for.
