If you’re Jewish (and you eat), you need to know Kashrut. The challenge is:
It’s hard to learn.
If you aren’t accustomed to learning Shulchan Aruch, the unknown terms and myriads of details in Hebrew and Aramaic can be hard to visualize. And how do those laws translate into your common kitchen mishaps?
It’s difficult to teach.
The average human attention span nowadays is just 8 seconds! And you’re competing with movies, phones and video games. How do you get millennials and students engaged in the laws of kashrut?
It’s confusing.
There’s a gap between hearsay and halacha. And it gets wider with every kitchen blunder. Is there a way out of the anxiety, arguments and mistaken assumptions (without 37 phone calls to your LOR)?
If you see someone in a non-kosher restaurant, what to do?
Give it a second thought...
There is no joy like getting out of doubt. What do you do if you ate a hot dog but don’t recall how long it’s been?
Can you eat your ice cream cone?
Can you buy a bottle of liquor with a worm in it?
There are some very engaging cases in here...
How does it work?
Each page of the book is a ‘case’ complete with hilarious scenarios, memorable characters, questions and clues.
Each case has 2 sections: Click ⊕ the following images
Here are 3 super-engaging examples:
"What happens if a hot dog is thrown and lands in a bowl of cereal with milk?"

Walking through The Great Game of Kashrut was a phenomenal experience. The book simplifies some of the most complicated concepts in Kashrut in a way that is fun for young and old. I was followed by my children (who are quite learned themselves) and grandchildren who all enjoyed it immensely.
I’m inspired by Rav Don Channen’s mastery of Kashrut, his insightful ability to teach in such a clear way and his rich talent in illustrating Torah concepts.
Rabbi Yaakov Goldman has combined Torah scholarship, a creative mind and a great sense of humor to produce a whole new concept in Torah study. I highly recommend it…”

The Great Game of Kashrut was created by Rav Don Channen and Rabbi Yaakov Jon Goldman. It’s the culmination of over four and a half years of research and development. The book and course strikes the magical balance of being both fun and engaging while being educationally deeply-rooted in authentic Torah sources.

Make your Shabbat table the place to be
Where halachot used to be yawn-inducing, or a cue for the kids to run and play, now you’ll have everyone (even your teenagers) hooked. They’ll be laughing, sharing ideas, and most of all, learning something new. Until now it was impossible to get anyone listening. Now, with an exciting Kashrut problem to solve — in an-easy-to-use format — you can make everyone happy.
Get your students interested in your lessons
Unfortunately, many students find Kashrut tedious, irrelevant and hard to remember. Enter The Great Game of Kashrut into the classroom. Suddenly, there’s a worm in a bottle of tequila. And adult students are like: “Hey, we love tequila! What now? What are the clues? Who can solve the challenge?”
Dump your false assumptions (not your soup) down the drain
False assumptions about Kashrut can make you frustrated and anxious, lead to over-stringency, and cause unnecessary friction between spouses (“What do you mean we can’t eat supper?”). This book makes Kashrut easy. Practice it in your own kitchen. Understand what’s a problem and what isn’t, and when to call a Rav (plus what to ask). Free yourself from nagging worry and doubt, and feel confident that you’re eating, and serving, kosher food.
"I am certain this book will greatly help both scholars and laymen from making a mistake in understanding the many laws of Kashrut."
- HaRav Yehoshua Cohen, Shlita.
