In Israel and the rest of the Middle East hummus is a extremely populair main course or side dish.
It is one of my favorites of all time… With a pita or other good bread… And a glass of tea with nana (fresh mint)… Heaven…

Now in Israel there is discussion which hummus is kosher and which isn’t. Is there meat, fish or other possible non-kosher stuff involved? Not really…
Like in other religions some important things need to be made by Jews, like wine (for shabbat). Not because other people are not okay, but just to be sure that all religious rules are kept. They know why things are done like that.

The rabbi’s found something new. The sesame seeds that are made into tahina, a sesame paste, used in the hummus could be roasted and shelled by non-Jews. And being not kosher then.

In this case they just want to get even more influence, I am sure… Without a hecher, a rabbinical approval, a lot of people will stop eating it…

Come on, corkscrew curls, get a life!!!
