Hi Leanna,
I’m sorry I didn’t see your question until now.
Kosher is pretty complicated and for a detailed explanation go to http://www.aish.com/jl/m/mm/48958906.html

It encompasses how the meat and chicken is ritually slaughtered (in the most humane way) to not mixing milk and meat together to not eating fruits and vegetables that have bugs in them. Any product we buy has to have kosher certification on it that is overseen by a kosher certfiying agency. Go check out that link as it has it all down.
thanks

I was especially interested to know exactly what made foods kosher. Also, I appreciate the comment about lives in observant communities not being oppressive. As a religious person myself, I know that often people look at religious laws as being oppressive, when those that follow them see them as freeing, since they lead to spiritual happiness. Thank you for sharing at the Culture Swapper!

Even though there may some customs that are similar Messianic Judaism is really nothing like Observant Judaism. You can check out the site http://www.jewsforjudaism.ca/home that explains more of the difference between Messianic Judaism and Regular Judaiasm.

We went to a Messianic Jewish church for a while and I learned quite a bit about some of the Jewish customs.
