Title: I would like to plan a JTF NYC get together in the summer, BBQ perhaps
Post by: MasterWolf1 on April 21, 2009, 11:46:12 PM: I was thinking Flushing Meadow, I know the summer is a long way off still, but not when it is so hot that no one can stand it. When it is nice yet comfortable. Any suggestions?

Post by: Lisa on April 22, 2009, 11:36:21 AM: I was thinking of having one on June 1. The Israel Day parade this year is May 31. Also, our great global moderator David Ben Ze'ev Aryeh will be in town then.

As for a barbecue, that could be iffy, since we have members who keep strictly kosher. But I'm open to suggestions.

Easily remedied, a kosher grill with nothing touching it but Kosher meat n' chicken, and another grill with the Italian sausage and cheeseburgers. ;D

Post by: Lisa on April 22, 2009, 04:04:18 PM: Well if anyone has a kosher grill they'd like to bring, that would be great. And perhaps some of us can also chip in for the kosher meat too.

A new grill is a kosher grill, how much is a grill? $14 at Target?

And what is more, one of the Muslim staff will be able to sell it to you, since it will not be used for cooking pork. LOL

Post by: firster555 on April 30, 2009, 09:22:18 AM: I am asking this question seriously, it is not meant cause any problems, what exactly makes a barbecue grill kosher? Not the food but the grill itself, just curious.

Since it is a Jewish organization, it has to be completely kosher so that it won't confuse anyone else. Just like the forum being closed on Shabbat even though not everyone here observes Saturday Sabbaths.

Post by: Baltimore on April 30, 2009, 11:00:05 AM: You want to have it on a day off. Not on a Monday when people work. The Sunday of the Israel day parade is perfect. It has been a tradition for JTFers to meet up at the parade, why not continue that tradition and make that the gathering?

I am asking this question seriously, it is not meant cause any problems, what exactly makes a barbecue grill kosher? Not the food but the grill itself, just curious.

In Jewish law the utensils which are used to prepare the kosher food must themselves be Kashered to remove the impurity from the utensils. Even the plates must be kept away from the impurities. We use separate plates for Dairy and plates for Meat because we are not supposed to mix them. The law is that 1/60 of any impure food will be nullified if accidentally mixed in, for example if a drop of milk fell into a vat of meat stew the stew would remain kosher because the drop is less that 1/60 the volume of the meat.

A grill used to cook unkosher food would render anything which touches it unkosher. In order to purify it it must be immersed in boiling water {this is my opinion though it may be wrong}. There are different rules of impurity based on what the utensil is made out of, for instance is it metal, or is it earthenware?

I hope this is a basic introduction to some of the laws of Kashrut. The OU {Orthodox Union} website is a great resource to learn about the laws of Kashrut.

Post by: firster555 on April 30, 2009, 03:05:44 PM: Muman, thanks for the info. I need to study the first testament some more. As a Christian I know the new testament well and sadly I probably know the quran better than the first half of the Bible because I believe in knowing my enemies.
So, other than the lack of pork if the whole event were Kosher I am guessing it would not make much difference to the non Jewish members?

Post by: Lisa on April 30, 2009, 03:52:48 PM: You're right Firster555.

If any Jewish, kosher keeping member owns a grill, then can bring it. And perhaps other kosher keeping members can chip in for the meat.

Other than that, it will be just like a regular barbecue.
