The Shema Podcast for the Perplexed

In this episode, we dive into the deeper meaning behind kosher laws and how they impact both our physical and spiritual well-being. We explore the Torah’s approach to food, revealing how what we eat shapes our bodies, souls, and connection to Hashem.

Joining us is Rabbi Nosson Dubin, the rabbinic administrator of the Houston Kashrut Association. He takes us behind the scenes of kosher certification, explaining the rigorous work that goes into ensuring our food meets the highest standards. We discuss the role of mashgichim (kosher supervisors), the challenges of maintaining kashrut in today’s world, and practical guidance for those looking to strengthen their commitment to kosher living.

Whether you’re new to keeping kosher or a seasoned observer, this episode will give you a newfound appreciation for the hidden work that goes into every bite of kosher food.
