☆ The term "kosher" is derived from the Hebrew word "kashrut," which means "fit" or "proper." Kosher food adheres to a set of instructions and guidelines outlined in the Scripture, which dictate what foods are permissible and how they should be prepared and consumed (*Lev 11:1-47).

Meat, to be considered kosher, must come from animals that meet specific criteria. They must have split hooves and chew their cud, which limits the selection primarily to cows, sheep, and goats. 

Fish must have both fins and scales to be considered kosher, which excludes seafood like shellfish and catfish. In the case of poultry, species like chicken and turkey are commonly consumed, provided they are slaughtered in accordance with kosher standards. 

The significance of kosher food extends beyond dietary restrictions; it is a reflection of a way of life and a connection to our belief. Observing these dietary laws is a testament to an individual's commitment to YHWH’s commandments; in contrast to Gentile culture where anything goes, much like their free-will lifestyle in comparison to our Elohim-yielded lifestyle.
