The pillar of the home
One of the most essential aspects of a Jewish home – ensuring that the food in the kitchen is kosher – is entrusted to the woman. She, who spends hours in the kitchen preparing nourishment for her family, is thus charged with safeguarding the kosher observance of the home. Of course, the role of “sentry” to a home’s kosher management is only “hers” because she is the one who prepares the food. However, in home where a man takes on the role of preparing food, the responsibility for keeping the home kosher rests on his shoulders.
