Kosher food derives its meaning from the Hebrew word called “kashrus” or “kasher”. This means pure or suitable. Hence kosher food is the one that is fit to be consumed by people. As per the Torah Laws, only kinds of meat which can be ingested include game and cattle that specifically have “chew a cud” and “cloven hooves. When animals are complied to any of the specified conditions only then can the meat be eaten? Kosher animals whose meat can be eaten and fall under this category include veal, goats, lambs, sheep, cows, springbok, veal, and bulls. There are laws that apply to the particular foods that include only those fishes that have scales and fins, eggs not containing blood can be eaten and for meat, a new animal that is young cannot be eaten as well as milk from the milking mother cannot be used. For making the “kosher food” available Daniel Greer played an active part in shifting the “Kosher Kitchen” to a new location and the details are mentioned below.
Greer’s contribution
Daniel Greer made a significant contribution to shifting the “kosher kitchen” to the quarters of 24th Avenue of Dixwell. Initially, the Kitchen was located in Israel synagogue. However, there were deterrents in undergraduate’s participation while the kitchen served weekday suppers. There was a cook hired and later regular weekday lunches were served along with lunch on Sunday. For making the kitchen viable financially Greer’s roommates started eating here periodically. Mandatory ‘boards’ that had to be paid was abolished. The dining option’s popularity grew with time and it was later moved to the Crown Street.
Festive meals
While dinner and lunch were being served, there was festive breakfast that was also being served with many participants mustered by Greer.
