STAR-K OPENS VIRTUAL KOSHER UNIVERSITY

Those who are clueless but curious about kosher, now have the opportunity to access the only formal, on-line, interactive introductory classes about kosher on the web. Star-K’s Virtual Kosher University will allow the kosher novice to learn the basics—whether you live in Calabasas, California, or Caracas, Venezuela! Regardless of the schedule you keep, the world of kosher is now open as never before, at your own pace in the comfort of your own home.

Virtual Kosher University classes will cover such Why? What? How? topics as: The Kabbalistic/Spiritual “Reasons” for Kosher; Setting Up a Kosher Kitchen; Kashering; Meat and Milk; Fish; Vegetarian Restaurants; Items That Do Not Require Certification; The process of Kosher Certification; and Navigating the World of Kosher Symbols. They will be discussed by Star-K’s expert Kashrus Administrators in multimedia presentations. Students will have the opportunity to test their knowledge with optional self-quizzes. They may also post their comments and questions about kosher on a forum, and chat with a Star-K rabbinic staff member.
