The question comes from a congregant who keeps kosher both at home and outside. Her son went to preschool here at the synagogue, where all snacks, etc. were kosher, so the boy could eat everything served w/o question. Now he is in kindergarten at a secular school, and the issue has come up that there are foods served at lunch that the other children may eat that he may not. The mom asked if there are any books that address this aspect of kashrut. It's challenging enough for a child to learn/explain that he doesn't eat pork, and he doesn't drink milk with his turkey sandwich. How does one help a young child understand (to say nothing of his explaining to others) that yes, he eats chicken and hamburgers, but not THIS chicken and not THESE hamburgers.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Marga ********************************* Marga Hirsch Librarian & Publications Editor Park Avenue Synagogue 50 East 87th St. New York, NY 10128 212.369.2600, x127 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
