According to the Union of Reform Judaism, " Reform Judaism affirms my right, our right, to make those kinds of choices." That is, choices relating to Torah and Talmud. Thus, " Each aspect worked for some Jews, once upon a time, somewhere in our history. Each, therefore, has the potential to open up holiness for people in our time as well, and for me personally. However, each does not have equal claim on us, on me. Some (the agricultural laws, for instance) are no longer possible to observe. Others (the sacrificial laws, for instance) come from a social context so foreign to our own that it would be impossible to conceive modern people finding holiness in their revival." Therefore, some Reform Jews do not keep kosher due to that they are not "finding holiness in their revival" in doing so.
It depends on the level of observance. Orthodox Jews eat nothing BUT kosher foods.
Kosher is the diet of Jews. Jews keep kosher. If you keep kosher you cannot eat: shellfish, pork, or dairy mixed with meat. The main land of Jews is Israel. So technically, the nationality of kosher is Israel.
Orthodox Jews keep a strictly kosher home.
Orthodox is the most traditional. Reform is the largest. But there is no one denomination that can be called "the main sect". All of the denominations of Judaism are tied together (despite the opinions of some traditional Jews). For example, Reform Jews who keep kosher depend on Orthodox butchers. Orthodox communities within large Reform communities must interact with Reform Jews in community based situations such as local Jewish newspapers and some events.
Kosher food is not like a specific food. It is not like Hamburgers or anything. SOme foods are kosher and others aren't. Since most people eat all types of food, you can't really avoid eating kosher food.
All Jews have the same Torah, which contains the basic laws of keeping kosher. Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah must be fully observed (Deuteronomy 13:5). They keep the laws of Judaism as codified in the Shulchan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law), which lists the laws of the Torah and Talmud. Torah-study is seen as very important (Deuteronomy 5:1); and the modern world is seen as subservient to the Torah (Talmud, Nedarim 32a), not the other way around.Other Jewish groups (Conservative, Reform) adapt, curtail or change the Torah-laws in contemporary life, to a greater or lesser degree.See also:Why do some Jews not keep kosher?How do you keep kosher?
Oh, dude, technically speaking, Jewish dietary laws, or kosher laws, don't allow for the consumption of snails. So, like, if you're following those rules, snails are a no-go. But hey, if you're not too worried about keeping kosher, then go ahead and slurp down those slimy little guys. Just maybe don't do it in front of your bubbe, she might not approve.
Kosher refers to food that is prepared according to the laws of kashrut. The people who keep kosher are Jews. Kosher is a classification, not a people. That being said, if the nachos and salsa are certified kosher, religious Jews who keep kosher can eat them.
When it comes to meats, Kosher is not synonymous with Halal, so no, we cannot eat Kosher Gelatin. Gelatin is considered kosher by many Jews regardless of its source of origin. For Muslims, if gelatin is prepared from swine or cows that are not dhabeeha, it is haraam.
