Kashrut
built 190 days ago
Any item brought into the Synagogue that does not meet the Kashrut standards of Congregation Shaarey Zedek will be returned. If there is no one to accept the removed products, these will be delivered to Winnipeg Harvest at the function host’s expense. There can be no exception to this rule under any circumstances.
Kashrut or Kashruth or "keeping kosher" is the name of the Jewish dietary laws. Food in accord with halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from the Hebrew term kasher, meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption by observant Jews).

The circled U indicates that this product is certified as kosher by the Orthodox Union (OU). The word "pareve" indicates that this product contains neither milk nor meat derived ingredients Kashrut has procedures by which equipment can be cleaned of its previous non-kosher use, but that might be inadequate for vegetarians or other religions. For example, dairy manufacturing equipment can be cleaned well enough that the rabbis will grant [P]areve status to products manufactured afterward. Nevertheless, someone with a strong allergic sensitivity to dairy products might still react to the dairy residue, and that is why some products will have a "milk" warning on a product which is legitimately pareve.
Jewish Dietary Laws (Kashrut) originated in the Bible (Torah). Over the centuries, the rabbis codified and interpreted these Biblical laws. Today liberal and traditional branches of Judaism hold different views of the Jewish Dietary Laws. What are Jewish Dietary Laws?
Kashrut prescribes that a large number of animals are not to be eaten. Any animal who has cloven hooves and chews its cud may be eaten; such animals as the camel, badger, hare and the pig then may not be eaten. Sheep, cattle, goats and deer are all kosher and may be eaten. From the water, anything that has fins and scales may be consumed; prohibiting all shellfish. Things get more complicated when discussing birds as the Torah has a list of forbidden birds but offers no categorization.

The function host retains the responsibility for the Kashrut of all items brought into the Synagogue for their function. Out of respect for the Shabbat and holidays, all deliveries, including pastry and desserts, flowers, decorations and other materials, must be completed by 3:00 PM the day prior to the Shabbat or holiday. For a Havdallah celebration, flowers and musical equipment only may be delivered after 4:00 PM on Shabbat afternoon. There can be no exception to this rule under any circumstances. No items, including pastry and desserts, flowers, decorations or other materials, are to be removed from the Synagogue prior to 3:00 PM on the Shabbat or holiday.
