Nonetheless, it was the highest form of worship to deliver and consume those offerings! Many times we are taught to observe the laws and not rationalize their virtue based on our limited knowledge of this vast world. I think it's a mistake to do otherwise. I mean, are you really saying veal is treif!? I'd love to see which poskim say that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538613956927732696.post-62619355963927630952016-04-03T07:56:49.669-07:002016-04-03T07:56:49.669-07:00After reading your blog, I couldn't help but r...After reading your blog, I couldn't help but reflect on a few of our Kosher food options in Israel. <br /><br />Our last night in Yerushalyim, Barbara and I took the kids to a Basari "Mizrachi" style restaurant in Talpiot called Avazi(Goose) which is "Jerusalem Kosher," but has an eclectic menu of "Kosher" organ meats which we did not order we took the tame items like Chicken and Beef Shislik, excellent.<br />http://www.rol.co.il/sites/avazi-jerusalem <br /><br />Originally we planned on taking my brother and his family (his wife is Bnai Menashe from India) there, but Charles is dairy/vegetarian and Bina eats Basari at a tame. (Her Indian style Chicken was delicious during the Purim seudah, she prepared.) We ended up taking his family to a Halavi place called Cafe Greg, also excellent. http://gregcafe.co.il/<br /><br />Another remarkable palace was a Lebanese (Kosher) Basari place in Mahane Yehuda called Manou B'Shouk, in fact it was so good that we brought the leftovers back to our apartment for Erev Shabbat (we were in the Shouk for Shushan Purim and to get ready for Shabbat)<br /><br />Of course the children wanted to go to their fist Kosher McDonald's, which we obliged them, once.
