rezza Veteran Posted June 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 15, 2004 Kosher and Halal are, AFAIK, just two different ways of preparing meat according to different traditions and ceremonies. Kosher is Jewish, and Halal is Muslim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42n81 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 AFAIK Kosher and Halal both come from the same Old Testament food hygiene and dietary rules handed down to the ancestors of all jews and arabs by a fearsome huge being who flew called YHWH. The slaughtering rules are, I'm told still similar, as is the ban on pork etc. (read your Old Testament for the verbatim rules), but the blessings I would say would obviously be different. It would be good to hear from some of our jewish and muslim brothers to get the authoritative word on the exact differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LispyGlitter2 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'm not sure what halal is, tho I know it's Muslim. As a Jew, koshering in the broad sense is making sure things are fit to eat, wether it be meat or dairy and so on. Koshering an animal means that all blood be removed from the animal, and that it was killed in a quick kill, rather than a painful slow killing of the animal. Kosher also means not mixing dairy and meat at a meal. there is a certain time period you wait before you can have dairy after eating meat. This comes from the test that a calf should not be bathed in it's mother's milk. Koshering is not a simple blessing that suddenly makes anything okay to eat. it's more of how the food is processed in accordance with Jewish dietary laws, also called Kosher Laws. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrider Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 i dunno too much about Halal, it is a Muslim thing but Christians in the middle east prefer Halal meat to the regular way it is prepared everywhere else because its "cleaner". Basically u take the cow or whatever animal, take its head and chop it off and let all the blood drain out then u cut the meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RufioPan Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 AFAIK Kosher and Halal both come from the same Old Testament food hygiene and dietary rules handed down to the ancestors of all jews and arabs by a fearsome huge being who flew called YHWH.The slaughtering rules are, I'm told still similar, as is the ban on pork etc. (read your Old Testament for the verbatim rules), but the blessings I would say would obviously be different. It would be good to hear from some of our jewish and muslim brothers to get the authoritative word on the exact differences. While I can't speak for the Jewish perspective, I can certainly speak from the Muslim perspective. The rulings regarding Halal food are taken from the Qu'ran and the examples/traditions of the Holy Prophet. The Qu'ran dictates that certain foods are not allowed at all such as alcohol or pork. The reasons may in fact be the same as equivalent bans on food for the Jews (from a religious perspective, the God of the Jews and Muslims is the same, and so He gives us the same laws for our benefit). Halal, the word just means permissible or allowed... the Qu'ran details quite extensively what foods are not allowed, ie. carrion, meat over which the name of other than Allah (God) is pronounced, etc. As regarding the preparation of meat, it's similar to the Jewish custom, meaning to drain the blood from the animal, to kill the animal in a humane manner, etc. Also of note is that according to the Qu'ran, meat prepared by Christians, Jews or other "People of the Book" is also allowable as the same laws were given to them.

mooker Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I studied Hebrewin college, and this is what I remember (hopefully it's correct): Kosher means that all the ingredients and preparation adhere to the orthodox jewish rules. When you see a K with a circle around it on a food label, that means it's kosher. Then, there's another version of kosher which is a U with a circle around it. I believe that means that the product has been blessed by a rabbi (I'm sure they don't bless each can of corn for example, but they probably give a blessing to the plant that produces it). I don't know what the U stands for, but I always thought it meant "ultimate kosher" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
