If we are consulting the dictionary, we shall see precise definition of the concept kashrut - code of rules about aptness and unfitness of the certain food and fabrics, commanded by Torah. On the first sight, it is a simple business. Observe rules - and everything is in order. In this connection the parable about young thief Jankel is recollected. He has come to rabbi, and rabbi asks:

- Do you still steal?

- Yes, rabbi, I shall feed the family with something.

- And if you get in the house not of the Jew, also steal? - Rabbi has taken an interest.

- Of course, what is the difference?

- Well, and if you are seeing, on a table the pork lays, and you are hungry, will you eat it?

- No, am I goi?

So young thief Jankel understood rules of Kashrut. Perhaps, and we - the members of family club "Shalom" - basically are near from the same perception. Don't eat the pork - and business the end. To expand our representations about kashrut, we decided to devote to kosher meal the program "Hostess". It is headed by Lubov Koretskaya. She also prepared the developed message.

The members of club learned about features of kashrut, about that: it is impossible to use in food meat of animal, lost in torments, in no event in food blood should not get, in food the meat of artiodactyls ruminant animals, and among birds - only hen, geese, duck, turkey, pigeons are permitted only. The fish is used only having fins and scales. Meat and dairy production never should mix up - even in a stomach. A break between one and another - should be six hours. The utensils for meat and dairy food should be separate. As if to fabrics, the woolen and linen fibres should not mix up.

These postulates Lubov Koretskaya very successfully alternated with digressions in a history. For example, story about what the sin of Adam consisted in, and as it was reflected in the laws of kashrut, as in foreign countries there is a check of components and technical process to avoid infringement of kashrut.

Lubov Koretzkaya and her assistants - Katya Grinstein, Sophya Onishenko, Gulayim Musina cooked kosher dinner: chicken cutlets, two kind of vegetable salads and for sweet - tzimes from carrots and dried apricots with addition of honey. These recipes from the book "Cook on Jewish" hit the spot and for children and for fathers of club.
