Many individuals and families who are beginning to walk in Torah commandments are interested in keeping "Biblically kosher", that is, eating according to the commandments of G-d. The commandments regarding food are primarily given in Leviticus 11 and in Deuteronomy 14. Kosher is a Hebrew word that means "proper". Although the word kosher is never used in Scripture to describe the food that is fit for consumption according to G-d's commandments, it is the word that has been commonly used for millennia to describe that food.
