Food makes the world go around. But for the Jewish consumer there’s a whole other angle to consider: is the food Kosher?
To the discerning Jewish palate, the question also relates to the rationale behind the mitzva. Are there material or spiritual benefits to be had from its fulfillment or must it be carried out only because G-d has so ordained it?
It has saved many a Shabbos meal and avoided much embarrassment. But how exactly does yayin mevushal address the problem of yayin nesech? What is the technical definition of mevushal? A behind-the-scenes look at kosher wine production and its laws.

With 11,962 Starbucks locations throughout the United States, the prospect of buying coffee from your local coffee shop raises some important halachic questions.
Part I:
Does a coffee prepared by a non-Jewish barista involve an issue of Bishul Aku”m? May one drink inside the coffee shop, or only to-go? What was the Arizal’s unique take on the subject? Also: what is the proper Bracha on coffee beans?
(Hebrew)
עם הנבחר מתייחד בתכונותיו של רחמנות וגמילות חסד. אלא שלפעמים מתווצר גם מצב הנותן משום לשאלה: האם אפשר לכוף את העשיר לנדב מהונו לצדקה? או שמא אינו תלוי אלא בנדיבות לב של כל אחד ואחד? על מצות הצדקה ותנאיה.
מקובלת ההנחה כי שונים הם תנאי כשרות הבהמה והחיה מהעוף. אם העוף נאכל לפי המסורת היהודית, הרי שהבהמה והחיה נאכלים לפי הסימנים המנויים בתורה. או שמא לא? האם המסורת משפיעה היא גם על כשרות הבהמה והחיה?
It is common practice for those wearing a Tallis in shul, to remove it before entering a washroom. Why would a Tallis be any different than an ordinary pair of Tzitzis and Yarmulka that are never removed for this purpose
Scientific advances have unlocked some of the ‘source code’ of living organisms, where by splicing genes from, say, arctic salmon into strawberries, or mice into chickens, we can produce strains of plants and animals which grow better, are more resilient, and are more beneficial economically or otherwise.
While discussion abounds regarding the long-term health effects of these developments, what is the Torah’s view on such manipulation? Do the ethos of kilayim preclude meddling in G-d’s domain? Or does the command to “fill the earth and subdue it” (Bereshis 1:28) provide the ethical mandate to do just that?
What are the Halachic ramifications? Is the act of implanting the gene –in flora or fauna- a violation of kilayim? What is the kosher status of the resulting hybrids? Does the status of the donor carryover to the recipient? What if the transferred genes affect the presence of the traditional kosher signs? (a tuna with no scales, a shark with scales)? Is an Esrog which has been thus modified considered a Murkav, disqualifying it from use for the Mitzvah?
Is there a spiritual effect? Do the characteristics of those animals which the Torah deems negative carry over into the new creature? Would consuming this (otherwise Kosher) creature bring spiritual coarseness (timtum halev)?
