[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But can my 4 yo drink milk with dinner if the Aunt is serving pot roast, for example?[/quote]

The aunt KNOWS you do not keep kosher, so I'm sure she'll manage this fine. Would your child eat pot roast in the first place? [/quote]

No, she wouldn't eat pot roast. I just don't know if a glass of milk is even allowed at the table when pot roast is being served. I am totally clueless. I just know that dairy and meat together is a no-no.[/quote]

No, at my grandmother's it would not. 3-4 hour separation between the meat and the dairy. [b]My kosher grandparents would not let us (non kosher people) touch any utensils, pots, food, etc. because we would contaminate it for them. [/b]But it depends on the person.[/quote]

I'm so glad my religion doesn't teach that a relative can contaminate something just by touching it. What an awful thing to teach and to believe in. This seems so devoid of love, so unnecessarily strict, so legalistic.[/quote]

What religion are you, PP?  If you affiliate with one of the "major" religions, I can 100% guarantee you it includes its share of awful, loveless teachings.  Maybe you aren't that devout, but then again neither are most Jews. [/quote]

I am a Neo-Pagan, formerly Catholic. I never heard anything that harsh even as a Catholic.[/quote]

You never heard of the inquisition?

In any case, there is nothing in kashrut about "non-kosher people."  Anyone who has ever been to a kosher restaurant has seen non-Jews working there.  PP is exaggerating, mis-remembering or her grandparents were nuts.[/quote]

I'm that poster. It's possible in this respect they were nuts. We were allowed to eat off the dishes in the dining room, but we weren't allowed to touch anything in the kitchen or bring any food into the house unless it was a sealed package with the right certification on it. They had their kitchen set up with separate dairy and meat preparation areas and a third kitchen for Passover. I'm not saying everyone who keeps kosher is like this, but it would have been stressful to stay there with a toddler.
