Podcast: The Fifth Question
Episode: Kosher Controversies w/ Prof. Jordan Rosenblum
Description: 🎙️ I speak with Professor Jordan Rosenblum, professor and author of The Jewish Dietary Laws in the Ancient World, about everything you’ve wondered (and maybe didn’t even know you were curious about!) regarding kashrut. Why are pigs not kosher? Is human breastmilk kosher? Why did Jewish tradition forbid chicken and cheese? How much power does the kosher certification industry wield today, and what are its implications for religious observance and modern food ethics? Join us for a fascinating deep dive into these questions and more, blending ancient insights with contemporary debates.#kashrut #kosher #kosherfood #JewishLaw #Judaism #JordanRosenblum #JewishStudies #koshercer...
