Is this Kosher?

are there any kashrut issues in Halacha with eating carnivorous plants such as the Venus fly trap? If it’s not too much to ask, do any rabbanim here know of any discussions of this in Halakhic literature

Theoretically if someone committed bestiality with an animal, would the animal after the fact become forbidden to eat (ie non kosher) even if it was a kosher animal that was shechita’d properly?

I'm a maker wanting to create a seder dining service acceptable to everyone. Ashkenazi rabbis, the strictest, consider glass to be non kasherable for dining ware. A technique has been devised by hobbyists to inexpensively create artificial sapphire, chemically known as corundum, from aluminum oxide powder with elements for coloring, using a microwave oven for fusing. This now makes sapphire accessible as an art material even if not gem grade. It can melt at several thousand degrees when growing lab-created gemstone or laser crystals. The microwave oven emulates this process for small quantities and brief moments. Sapphire can only be worked with diamond abrasives. Glass is in the general class of silicon based materials, adding either sodium for common glass or boron for Pyrex. Glass melts about 800 Fahrenheit. Hence sapphire differs chemically from glass. Glass can be molded or blown. For additional reference, porcelain, which is also non kasherable, is based on kaolin, which is mined from river banks typically, and fires at about 2000 Fahrenheit into a glasslike substance. I am hoping artificial sapphire would be better than glass or porcelain for kashering since natural sapphire is considered stone by the rabbis. Mere glass is considered permeable here. Thank you for considering this question.

We already refrain from eating dairy bread as required by Halacha. But what about meat bread? I have a recipe for some bread that calls for using chicken fat as an ingredient.

Hi, as the title states. Would lab grown meat be kosher?

A number of companies are coming out with lab grown meat including beef and chicken. What is the status of these products with regard to kashrut?

Dear Rabbi, At the pool where I take my kids in the summer, there is a juice and smoothie stand. They are not under any kashrut supervision. They only use fresh fruits and milk, coconut milk, sugar, and honey with kashrut symbols and equipment such as knives and blenders that have never been used anywhere else. They are very nice and will openly show you how their operation works if you ask. Lots of Orthodox Jews come to this pool and say it’s kosher because there can’t possibly be anything wrong with it. What’s the scoop on that? Thank you

A lot of produce sold in stores have identification stickers attached. From a health standpoint, the gluey residue is perfectly safe and it is even safe to eat the whole sticker! But this does not answer kashrut questions. There is no way of knowing what the sticker or the ink printed on it or the glue are made of. Do these pose kashrut issues in any way? Should the area of the skin of a fruit or vegetable where the sticker was attached, which contains traces of the adhesive after removal, be discarded?
