It says something about me, though I'm not sure whether it's my professional background or my dating history, or both, that I find it deeply offensive that the Encyclopedia of Modern Jewish Culture not only has no entry on Kosher or Kashrut(h), but has no index entry on either term. Kosher is briefly covered in the entry on "cooking, Jewish," which I found by looking under "food, Jewish" in the index. "Tref" or "treif" is not mentioned, but "taref" is, in the entry-- but neither one is indexed.

Maybe it's a Reform book? No, we know what kosher is even though we don't keep it.

I got nothin'. Except confusion.

Those are the days I wish I was a writing-in-books kind of person.

Ummm...I think that book is mislabeled.

Is the editor, by chance, Bill O'Reilly?

Dude. Ain't just you; that's _wrong_.

That's nuts. If I was to write such a book, I'd definitely include kashrut, *and* include things that some folks are doing that, while not kashrut per se, are definitely a matter of dietary choice (for instance, folks who won't eat veal or pate de foie gras).
