Kosher when convenient?

Like you said Kosher when convenient.

Many different Jews have kosher light diets that range in different degrees. Some never eat pork but everything else is OK. Some dont eat pork, shellfish or other non-kosher animals. Some keep kosher at home, but are very flexible when they go out.

Personally I stopped eating shellfish about six years ago and do not plan on ever eating it again. irregardless of how free it is =P

Keeping kosher is not "all or nothing" for all Jews. I'm certain the Jews eating the shellfish were NOT orthodox Jews. Yes, many Jews are kosher when convenient for for personal reasons. You imply that's a negative, but it's not like it's a horrible sin with great punishment if we miss the mark. It's simply a goal we strive to achieve in making our lives holy. Personally, I don't eat pork, shellfish, etc., and I try not to mix meat and dairy, but it happens. Life goes on! One cannot be totally kosher and eat in any public place. The meat isn't kosher unless it has been certified kosher by a rabbi, and meat and dairy can never be served on the same dishes.

My friend doesn't consider himself to be religious, yet he continues to be semi-kosher in that he eats in public places, but follows a vegetarian diet in order to not mix meat and dairy. He keeps a kosher kitchen at home so that his orthodox friends and family will feel welcome there.

I can't really say about the Kosher deal, but having been on many cruises, I can tell you that a lot of things go out the window the minute that buffet opens. Like, diets... :)

I have come across people who (mistakenly) think that it is OK to keep kosher only at home. They obviously do not realize that what goes into your body is what matters.

Only Orthodox Jews keep kosher all the time, even when it is not convenient.

Why not ask the person who decides not to follow the Kosher requirements? How would anyone else, but the person in question, know what their motivation truly is? Or is this really a way of being a mean and anti-semetic little terrorist?

Im a Muslim and I love Kosher foods

Perhaps they ordered kosher meals because they had the best of intentions but then couldn't resist the temptation.

When u cant get Halal.
