Do the Rosenberg's keep kosher

We know that WIllow had to sneak over to Xander's to watch Christmas specials and that her Dad would have been less than thrilled to find crucifixes nailed to her wall. Do we think that season one WIllow follows the kosher food restrictions?

This actually is for a story.

I had a friend who told me Jewish people know good Chinese places because they can eat kosher there. I'm not up on the rules so I'll have to take your word for it.

Here's a link:

http://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm

Yes, some Chinese places, probably in areas with a strong Jewish population, do conform, but we don't hear much about Sunnydale having a lot of Jewish residents, so I am not confident they have any restaurants which are compliant with kashrut law.

Thanks. I can now see how eating the cafeteria food would definitely be not kosher. That's a totally helpful link.

Do you think the Rosenberg's might not keep strict kosher but still might be influenced by it. For example, at home or even in restaurants they wouldn't mix meat and dairy but they would eat at restaurants that didn't keep kosher rules.

Oh, my roommate, Lesile, well she considers herself Pagan now but she's Jewish by birth. I could ask her although that'll have to wait. She's out of town at a ballroom dancing competition until late this evening.

we don't hear much about Sunnydale having a lot of Jewish residents. Yeah, we don't. You know, I used to think Joss Whedon was Jewish. I'm originally from New York - I grew up on Long Island - and the geekier boys in my classes were Jewish. I think I have an association that says geeky New York boys are Jewish. ;-)

Re geeky jewish boys: Jake Gyllenhaal. Andrew Garfield. Adam Levine. Paul Rudd. David Duchovny. Adam Brody. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. John Stewart. Liev Schreiber. Ben Foster. Michale Vartan. Zac Efron. Hank Azaria. Paul Rudd. Josh Radnor. Jason Segal. Eric Dane. Jason Segal. Gabriel Macht.

And that's off the top of my head.

David Duchovny? Huh, didn't know that.

You know what's really sad? I just looked it up and there is not a single kosher restaurant in all of Idaho. NOT ONE. The local Chabad center offers help to kosher travelers, but nope - no restaurants.

It looks like I'd have to go into DC or Maryland to find a kosher restaurant. That is surprising.
