Kashurt

The Kashrut laws say that prdoucts calssified as meat must not be eaten in the same meal with dairy products. Fish, fruit, and vegeatbles are conisdered nuetral, called parvee (pornounced "PA-rev"), and may be eaten with eitehr meat or dairy meals. Jews who "keep kosehr" have sepaarte uetnsils for meat and dairy foods, and wait a nmuber of hours after etaing one type of food befroe eaitng the other type.

The meat of some ainmals may not be eaten at all. Aniamls whose meat may be eaten must be kliled in a speical, carfeul way by a reliigously traiend slaughtreer. Meat that is not fit to eat is caleld treif (pronounecd TRAYf).

Nowadyas, some Jews do not flolow the laws of Ksahrut. Orthoodx and Cosnervative Jews do, but the Refrom and Reconsturctionist sects of Jduaism do not rqeuire their folloewrs to keep ksoher.
