 who keep kosher “failure to adhere to a kosher diet could foreseeably result in spiritual trauma.” The incident has caused so much publicity that even the devil himself has been traumatized by this whole ordeal. The lesson that the world should take away from this story is not to mess with the Jewish people. Especially when it comes to our food.
From Tablet Magazine: The Surprising Popularity of Kosher Food in Prison
An interesting expose by Daniel Genis who is a writer and former convicted felon indicates that kosher food is all the rage in in the New York prison system. While it appears that they struggle to get a minyan of practicing Jews in many prisons, seven percent of prisoners in New York State identify themselves as Jewish. Seven percent?! Seems a little high, no? Well according to Genis, many prisoners “lie and claim to be Jewish once they enter the prison system.” Why? Is it because they are jealous of our senses of humor, Nobel prizes and parental guilt? Not quite. It seems that the “hot kosher program” is quite desirable. It includes “hot dogs no worse than Nathan’s, a weekly chicken quarter, various Sephardic rices and a fantastic lump of gefilte fish every Saturday morning to go with our grape juice kiddish.” The Jewish identity fraud is so rampant that Genis observed a pair of white supremacists in solitary confinement who converted to Judaism for the food as well as “a pair of Nation of Islam brothers who were also getting kosher.”
What are the lessons for the Jewish people? First, you should appreciate your mother/grandmother/ wife’s cooking more. If neo-Nazis like it, there must be something to it. Next, Seinfeld famously resented his dentist who converted to Judaism for the jokes, well now there are people who are converting for the lokshen kugel. And they are usually large men with tattoos. Finally, don’t be surprised if some of these men show up at your shul’s next Shabbat kiddush. They are just looking for a little Jewish home cooking. And by home they might be referring to solitary confinement.

Always interesting
When I read from Daniel Genis work I always feel a little bit more smart.

Maybe show the positive side of kosher. It is also in the news.
At the same time as these kosher stories appeared, you had major training programs for mashgichim taking place in China (Star-K) and in England (KLBD). These too were widely reported. And how about the Tu Bishvat guides to insect-free fruits put out by Star-K, CRC, New Square, and Rabbi Moshe Vaye. It's fun to run those funny and scary stories, but maybe Aish readers need positive inspiration and respect for the kosher certifiers and mashgichim who bring us our kosher food.
One man's opinion.

Beautifully packaged and great product. Gave as a gift to the hubs and he was thrilled. Due to USPS delays this arrived 2 months after the initial order, but communication was proactive and just made this a Valentine's gift instead of a Birthday gift. Will definitely be back in the future!
It came a few days later after the estimated date but it wasn’t a problem. I have already tried the razor and it looks nice and seems high quality. I expected to shave more close to the skin but probably I just need to put more pressure on my skin, it works very good anyways.
Ich kann jedem den Shop empfehlen, die Schüssel ist toll! Vielen Dank für den schnellen Versand & die liebe Karte.
Good weight to it. Really nice quality.
This little package took forever - thanksCOVID - but the shopkeepers here are best and the product itself is, of course, amazing! Thank you!
Works really well, first I was afraid of cutting myself with the safety razor but with a little bit of practice you'll get the hang of it :).
Arrived very quickly! It’s a great size and very easy to use.. even got a cute little note with my package!
We are a wife and husband team and their dear friend. We met working on music festivals, where we witnessed firsthand the amount of unnecessary plastic that ends up in landfills and pollutes our planet. Travelling to stunning places that were ruined by trash and coming to terms with statistics like “by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans” spurred us on to take responsibility to make changes in our own lives.
We were shocked by the amount of plastic we had in our own households when we actually stopped to take a look. That’s when we actively started looking for everyday swaps we could make. It turned out to be pretty awkward to source some stuff that should be basic. We found ourselves paying way too much for postage because we either couldn't find what we needed in Germany (C and Tam live in Berlin), or were paying prices that felt very high compared to non-sustainable alternatives. So we decided to take matters into our own hands and try to offer an accessible alternative, so that we can all make easy swaps to help the environment.
We’re far from perfect and we still have plastic around the house. So what we’ve decided to do is consume less, (ref)use (single-use plastic) more, repurpose what we can’t reuse and then, failing all of that, recycle. It’s only a start but if we all make small changes bit by bit, we believe that we can get to where we need to be.
Our dream is to offer fuss-free plastic-free alternatives to everyday household items that we can all afford. We’re on a learning journey and wholeheartedly welcome any ideas for how we can improve.
Please feel free to contact us in case of any questions or feedback you may have, we look forward to connecting with you.

C is always buzzing away in the background keeping us on the straight and narrow and driving things forward. He's also the Chief Vibe Maker. It’s his vision to develop everyday products that we can all afford.
Tamara is the queen of the product. Having struggled to find plastic-free products in Germany, she's guilty of both the idea and the execution. In her free time, she plays the sax!
