Jews who eat pork.
ThunderAppeal:
Many russian Jewish people or Jewish people from that region are pretty far off the derek
that they have become accustomed to the habits of the surrounding population.
There is a certain amount of self-dislike for being Jewish mostly because that region has
conditioned us. Not because we geniunely hate ourselves.
In fact in the early part of the 20th century they had a problem feeding the population
because that bull communist revolution and the idiot known as stalin couldnt figure out
how to feed the population.
Hence many people turned to slaughtering anything they could find, many Jewish people did so too.
In Torah it is permitted to eat to survive in times of crisis.
She is no longer in that times of crisis so there is no reason to eat traif.
Before I become religiously observant I used to eat pork products, more out of ignorance
than out of taste. It is what was feed to me.
In my teens and early 20's I did not become religiously observant but I did stop
eating pork products. I knew as a Jewish person I was forbidden and there were plenty of other
permitted foods to eat so I saw no need to transgress that command.
I was never a fan of crab, shell fish or shrimp.
Today almost everything I eat is Kosher, I eat meat mostly only on Shabbos when I am invited to
the homes of people from my Shul.
I generally do not eat meat because I dont feel that I need to, but on Shabbos I have no problem indulging in chulent.
She will either come around to it or someone will show her the way or with Hashems help a little of both.

She can drink you know as long as it is Kosher. But the Pork part you really need to talk with her about the reasons why eating Pig is forbidden in the Jewish Religion
I used to eat pork about 5 years ago and I also used to work on Shabbat until 2 years ago it is a proses that takes time and I'd ask you to be patient with here. Getting Religious doesn't happen over night. It's just like someone who converts it is a process
White Israelite:
Trivial question, in the event we are in famine or starvation, needing to survival, is it possible for a Jew to violate the kosher laws to eat say pork or non kosher for survival purposes?
What about prison?

For a quick answer Yes. If it is a matter of Life or Death then yes you can break Kosher Law but only Life and Death. When it is a matter of life and death then Torah Laws don't apply. But Prision it is okay to only eat what is Kosher which won't be much I know but just ask Chaim what he did in Prision he only ate what is Kosher. In Prision you don't have to break Kosher laws unless you are dying

My father was in prison for a while on gun related crimes, not sure what he did for kosher though. He got into a lot of fights though, that's for sure.
