Can Orthodox Jews eat non kosher food?
CLASS. The laws of kashrut, the foods a Jewish person can or cannot eat, are contained in the Torah. In today’s culture, however, when a Jew eats non-kosher food, he may feel guilty, but it is believed that this transgression, a sin against God’s commandments, will be dealt with in the world to come.
Why can’t Jews eat meat and fish together?
The Talmud records a warning against eating meat and fish cooked together since the combination causes health problems and bad breath. As such, the combination becomes forbidden, since Jewish law strictly forbids activities which are directly harmful to one’s health (Hilchot Rotzeah 11:5-6).
Are eggs and fish together kosher?
Fish and eggs (Pareve) Although they each have their own separate rules, fish and eggs are both classified as pareve, or neutral, which means that they do not contain milk or meat. Fish is only considered kosher if it comes from an animal that has fins and scales, such as tuna, salmon, halibut, or mackerel.
Do Jews eat lots of fish?
As fish is not considered a meat by the culinary definition nor in the Judaic context, it’s routinely eaten with milk and other dairy products by observant Jews. However, this is just a general rule among Jewish communities. In certain communities there are different rules regarding fish and dairy.
Are ducks kosher?
Domestic ducks are kosher, though duck is not a particularly common protein on the Jewish table (except perhaps in Sephardic, or Mediterranean, families).
What kind of fish do Orthodox Jews eat?

Is there such a thing as a kosher Swordfish?

Is it kosher to cook fish and meat together?
One last thing to remember about fish: It is not kosher (according to Orthodox interpretation; Conservative sources have dropped this rule) to cook or serve fish and meat together. The fish-meat separation rule is less stringent than the dairy-meat separation, however.
When do Orthodox Jews have to eat Kosher food?
They will have a certification of an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi or kashrut (kosher in plural) organization that all ingredients abide with kosher food laws. Kosher dietary laws are observed all year round, not just during Passover.
