message: Why is the postion of the Seventh-day Adventists on breakfast cereals relevant to the lead of the page on Jewish dietary laws?
If no one objects, I'll remove it.

message: Hi, I think that an extra section for the kashrut law of "Bateil BeShishim - One In Sixty parts" is needed.
Here are some links that can be for help:
*The 1/60th Rule - Kosher - Chabad.org
*One in Sixty « It's Not Quite That Simple « Ohr Somayach
*Food Nullification: Foods - Practical Halacha
*When it's Null and Void: Understanding Batel BShishim (One-Sixtieth ...
Thanks and cheers. --תנא קמא (talk) 23:29, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there  I personally believe the Wikipedia entry should focus on the general facets of the biblical commandment and the rabbinical additions, rather than the more specific laws of kosher. The 1/60 rule is just getting into details. Hydromania (talk) 06:46, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , you tagged the Kashrut#Genetically_modified_foods section for clarification, as it mentions this law, and needs elaboration. --תנא קמא (talk) 13:59, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  The genetically modified foods section needs a rewrite. I haven't found any sources which explain both sides of the question. That specific part should probably just say something like 'it's kosher because the gene is a miniscule part of the fish, and the fish still resembles a kosher fish' as the OU says here and drop the 1/60 rule entirely Hydromania (talk) 22:02, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  The 1/60th Rule 

message: I would suggest reading the sources before deleting cited content. The sources discuss tobacco that is certified Kosher for Passover in Israel. This is because tobacco is considered to contain ingredients forbidden during Passover. Maybe there is a better article for this, but I don't know which that is. Maybe I can revise the content and move it to the Passover section. Cannabis issue same, not only for eating, but debate about whether it is a legume. Please do not make things up.

replies: text: It has nothing to do with kashruth of dietary, it has to do with chametz issues. I suggest you check your attitude. This article is on the dietary issues of kosher laws, not on chametz issues. Tobacco has no dietary issues and as such does not belong here. Sir Joseph (talk) 19:27, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course certification is an issue for this article, not only a theoretical dispute that certification has expanded beyond what should be covered by kashrut. For this you have presented no supporting sources. To add such commentary would be valuable, if there are supporting sources. However, deletion is not appropriate here, Shofet tsaddiq (talk) 19:37, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tobacco 

message: I propose merging the page Kosher foods into this one.
*Kashrut applies to food. Kosher foods are foods which kashrut permits or prohibits. The subject is exactly the same.
*As written now, they both cover the same ground.
*I have not found any discussion on why there are two pages for the same subject.
*As the older more stable page (former FA, GA) Kashrut should be the surviving article
*The name can be discussed. Kashrut is more accurate, Kosher is more prevalent. However, note that this has been discussed many times previously here here here and hasn't been changed. Any new discussion should be after the merger.
*One argument to make is that the Kashrut page is too long and clunky. I agree to an extent, and believe that after we merge any useful information from kosher foods into this one we should work on spinning of some of the sections into subpages.

replies: text:  Kashrut article is not only foods, it includes manufacturing equipment and details not usually discussed in food articles. Only question is overlap with Jewish cuisine, but this will be controversial and some sources exist to say it does not have to be kosher cuisine to be Jewish.Shofet tsaddiq (talk) 19:11, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Debresser: But it isn't really. That article is Hechsher. This one has more on the foods than it does on certification or philosophy. Hydromania (talk) 02:22, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

text: Otherwise we can go with StevenJ81's proposal. Hydromania (talk) 02:19, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

message: Prefaced that I live in an (often conservative) Ashkenazi community, I’ve never heard of this my whole life while I knew about the other rules before I turned ~7. Maybe I and most of the internet just missed something, but these are way too obscure to be in the same bullet-list as the others. As such, I’m adding (minor) next to them and wouldn’t be surprised if someone else demoted them to (obscure) at some point  Makhnoboi19 (talk) 22:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restrictions on food produced by non-Jews? 

message: There are many organizations that claim some authority to certify foods as kosher. I think it would be useful for somebody to write at least a paragraph about the different organizations that do this. Are they recognized by different Jewish religious streams? Sometimes I see two kosher logos, but I do not remember ever seeing more than two. Pete unseth (talk) 17:51, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an extremely complicated subject that I think if we tried to tackle would have to be its own page. Re: different streams, yes, but there are multiple dimensions. Expensive ritual items like shmurah Matzah are likely to have many symbols. Some symbols are recognized by some denominations but not others, others are identified with a particular ethnic tradition, and a great many are strictly Orthodox but nonetheless understood to be untrustworthy. For example, Magen Tzedek is a Conservative Jewish symbol and not relied upon by Orthodox Jews. Badatz Beit Yosef is a Sephardic hechser, which is not relied upon by Ashkenazim in areas of known disagreement. Tablet-K has always been run by strictly Orthodox Jews but is banned by major Orthodox rabbinic authorities. Some Hasidic sects, such as Bobov, theoretically restrict adherents to their own in-house symbol. There's a lot of politics involved. The Chicago Rabbinical Council maintains a list of recommended symbols here. GordonGlottal (talk) 20:16, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a linked article Hechsher which contains a list of major organizations. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the tip about Hechsher. From there, I found a link to Kosher certification agency. That article covered the material I thought was helpful. Thanks! Pete unseth (talk) 22:58, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
