...when the Torah speaks about food that is permissible and prohibited it is referring to whether it is tahor or tame’ (purity status) |
Kashrut is a widely misunderstood term. Most people understand kashrut
as referring to qualifications for permissible and prohibited foods.
In a sense, this is correct; however, when the Torah speaks about food that
is permissible and prohibited it is referring to whether it is tahor
or tame’; and this refers to its purity status. The
implications of an item's purity status reach far beyond the
table. They directly impact a person's purity. Therefore, Kashrut
in a Karaite setting, is merely a subset of the much larger category
of tahorah and tum’ah. Below, we have compiled a list
of articles that deal with Kashrut from a Karaite perspective.
