App that can generate 64,000 kosher cheesecake recipes pitches AI to Orthodox Jews

The Brooklyn marketing exec behind CheesecakeWizard.AI walks a fine line in an insular, internet-averse community, shopping the new tech only to those who already use the net

Here's part B of the podcast I made by cutting down an episode of my old local radio show about #shavuot coming up here shortly, featuring European dairy dishes.

I have figured out that in addition to being gluten free, if I go for a while without milk and then drink it again, I have symptoms. So it looks like I'm going to have to work out some kosher non-dairy alternative recipes one day...

This is part B of the podcast where I realized I was cutting too much material from the old radio shows to get them to fit into BandCamp's file size limit, and started splitting the radio shows into two podcasts instead of one. So this is part one of the next show, which featured food and music from Egypt, and more info about Passover.

At the time I made these I didn't know about Mimouna!

Pesach is coming up soon, so today's podcast is an introduction to Passover, part one.

Feeling brave? A recipe for homemade gefilte fish!

According to this article, Pokemon are alive, but not animals:

https://www.quora.com/Are-Pokemon-animals-or-monsters

At the same time, it is accepted in the Pokemon universe that people eat Pokemon by-products as well as Pokemon themselves.

https://www.polygon.com/pokemon/2018/9/28/17914112/what-do-pokemon-eat-food-humans

My question is, if these Pokemon are not animals, are Pokemon Kosher? Does their non-animal status preclude them from being kosher, or are they actually parve? Does ritual slaughter apply to these "non-animals"?

Purim's coming up soon, so of course the next podcast is about Persia - Iran in modern times. Great recipes and music, and a bit of the tale of Esther.

The moral of that story is this: we, each of us, are where we are today for a reason. And that reason is to do some good in the world. Maybe nothing as flashy as Purim, but every bit counts.

We count.

Recently we celebrated Tu B'Shvat - and guess what? I had a podcast about that back in the old radio show days.

This show features some fruity recipes for Tu B'Shvat and some cheesy music from back in the 60s - from an old Israel folk songs and dance CD, lol. Think summer camp, back in the day.

On Thursdays I will post links to my old radio shows made into podcasts, called Kosher Cuisine. It features recipes and jewish food culture from around the world, as well as food safety information from my licensed kitchen manager days, lol.

This week's show features kosher recipes and music from India.

A while back I was in a #nonprofit that was awarded two low-power FM licenses by the FCC. Our mandate was to have a set % of locally produced shows. So several of us made radio shows to get started.

My show was called Kosher Cuisine. I recently edited those down & posted them on BandCamp. You'll notice they get better, lol, as we learned what we were doing. The first one features Moroccan music & recipes.

Reading this, even as a vegetarian keeping a #vegetarian kitchen, it seems it would be virtually impossible to keep #kosher in Japan unless one is insanely rich and one partner doesn’t work at all.

Teaching a Reform Jewish Sunday school in a few minutes on #Kashrut, a challenging thing as I myself do not do kosher, but I want our youth to be aware of the details of the practice to be better able to thoughtfully navigate diverse Jewish spaces.

But mostly I'm hoping to expand the topic as I think the youth will be much more engaged with other issues of ethical eating.

Traditional Judaism, based on our religious beliefs and #halakhah, got caught in a tug of war between people moving to the religious far left or far right. In some communities #halakhah was eliminated, while in others it became too strict. So this story here shows the Judaism that most of our ancestors had: A warm, loving #Judaism still taught by the many wonderful #rabbis we have learned from in all of our denominations. This is the way ❤️ 🔯

Consider the hidden assumption - many Jewish people think that eating kosher requires eating only food with a heksher. Turns out that this has never been a requirement. In fact most Orthodox Jews who lived before 1960 have never heard of such an idea. They would have regarded such a view as extreme, and such stringencies violate the Mishnah in Yadayim and numerous other rules.

More details here -

#kashrut #halakhah

In #halakhah there never was a mandatory 6 hour wait time between eating milk and meat. That idea is a more recent (1500's) chumra חומרה (stringency.) People of course may follow this, but they should also know the history. Ashkenazi Orthodox insist on this waiting time as binding. Other Jews disagree.

Interesting #historical discovery of the day: In 1962, #legislation was proposed in the #RI general assembly to strip the tax-exempt status of #colleges & #universities that forced students to pay for food their #religion prohibited them from eating or refused to schedule makeups for exams scheduled on holy days.

Please read the sources here. They are pretty mainstream within Orthodox Judaism: Mishnah, Talmud Bavli, Rabenu Nissim, Yosef Messas, and the Shulkhan Arukh itself (which, on this topic, Ashkenazi reject), and R. Ovadia Yosef, Yaakov Peretz, etc
