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.

There is no way she or her family kept kosher. Not a chance. I'm Jewish (non-practicing, but culturally) and I've lived in NYC all my life, surrounded by Jews. Growing up, I knew one family that kept kosher, and as an adult, I have one former co-worker who kept kosher. That's it. It isn't that common - I think the statistic is that around 13% of US Jews keep kosher.

Excellent. Thank you.

So, even if the family didn't keep kosher, do you think Willow might, say, not eat pork? Would it be something she might consider vaguely taboo-like?

No. She eats whatever anyone else eats. Period. It would never cross my mind nor the min d of anyone I know to even think about this stuff.

Okay. Thank you. That is very helpful.
