«The laws of kosher are complex and extensive. The intention of this guide is to acquaint the reader with some of the fundamentals of kosher and provide insight into its practical application. Given the complex nature of the laws of kosher, one should consult an Orthodox Rabbi whenever a kosher issue arises.

Though an ancillary hygienic benefit has been attributed to the observance of kosher, the ultimate purpose and rationale is to conform to the Divine Will, as expressed in the Torah.»
