Understanding the Principles of a Kosher Kitchen

Keeping a kosher kitchen involves more than just following basic food guidelines—it requires an in-depth understanding of how halachic principles apply to everyday cooking and food preparation. This course is designed to provide a structured and practical approach to kashrut in the kitchen, covering essential topics such as the separation of meat and dairy, the impact of cooking utensils on food status, and the role of steam, smell, and sharp foods in determining kosher status.

Throughout the course, we will explore fundamental halachic concepts that influence kitchen practices, helping participants gain both theoretical knowledge and practical applications. Whether you are new to keeping a kosher kitchen or looking to refine your understanding, this course will provide valuable insights and guidance.
