Dudi Dror, CEO of Askria
, the research company for the ultra-Orthodox sector, presents 5 misconceptions that are common among kosher people in the ultra-Orthodox sector.
1.
The ultra-Orthodox will look for a kosher stamp on every product
Relying on a "white list" of products that do not require a kosher stamp. In addition, there are products that are sold as non-kosher products such as coffee, beer (certain types), alcoholic beverages such as whiskey (except one that is aged in a barrel that previously contained wine), vodka, and beverages. Others that do not contain wine, fruits and vegetables abroad (since training issues depend on the location of growing the fruits and vegetables) and more.
The
ultra-Orthodox will adhere to the same training in every situation
Bringing food products into the home is not like eating in a restaurant or staying at a hotel.
Many ultra-Orthodox will adhere to a certain standard in the purchase of food products at home, but will sometimes find it easier at different levels in food eaten outside the home such as restaurants and hotels.
On the other hand, an ultra-Orthodox mother who does not adhere to a high kosher standard, will purchase sweets intended for a child's birthday party or a "mother or father of Shabbat" in a higher kosher and will conform to a community standard so that all children at the party can eat the sweets.
3.
All the products in your shopping cart will be with her orthodox training
When an ultra-Orthodox consumer goes to the supermarket, he will differentiate between the types of food he puts in the cart and depending on the severity of the kosherness. In meat and poultry products, due to complex slaughter laws, training will be more rigorous and stringent, but in dairy and dry products, the standards will be lower. With regard to fruits and vegetables, in a shemita year like this year, there will be strict adherence to kashrut and it will be possible to find a dedicated shmita tin in many homes.
4. A
similar level of kashrut between the various communities in the sector of
community affiliation is a significant parameter in the acceptance of kashrut. Sephardic Lithuanians and Hasidim will often rank differently according to their communal affiliation. But there are also cross-community kosher brands that are acceptable to almost everyone, such as the ultra-Orthodox community.
In addition the more modern the family, i.e. more educated, less segregated, living a higher standard of living and more involved in country life, the more flexible the training threshold will be.
These families will rely on mehadrin kosher bodies to a "medium" standard according to the ultra-Orthodox mainstream view.
5.
There are two levels of kosher - regular kosher and "mehadrin" kosher only.
There is a wide range of mehadrin kosher within the "mehadrin" category.
In order to sell food to the ultra-Orthodox consumer, it is not enough for kosher food to be called "mehadrin kosher."
For example, non-Israeli kosher bodies are much less acceptable compared to local kosher ones.
The main difference between mehadrin kosher and regular kosher is in the level of halakhic standards and "severity" practiced by the same kosher body.
Both at the level of the raw materials from which the food is made (fruits and vegetables from a special crop for the prevention of worms), and at the level of the supervision of the food production process.
In addition, a strictly kosher body will not give a kosher stamp to a restaurant open on Shabbat even though the food itself can be strictly kosher, as this is the place of desecrating Shabbat.
