Kosher laws
Kosher laws are mostly great for vegans. The kashrut also makes sure that meat and dairy products are never mixed. So if you go to a Jewish "meaty" restaurant you won't get any dairy in your food. Kosher laws still allow mixing eggs and honey into other foods but when something is parve, also noted on many products (check for a פַּרוֶוה label).
Useful phrases
If you ask in English "is this dish tiv'oni?" or "can you make this tiv'oni?", many would understand what you mean, and that will help you to get a vegan meal. Another useful word is "parveh" which is a Kosher term which excludes all animal products except for fish, eggs, and honey.
Meaning | Pronunciation | Hebrew |
