Kashrut or kashruth, kashrus (Hebrew: כַּשְרוּת, kašrûṯ ) or "keeping kosher" (Hebrew: כָּשֵר, kāšēr) is the name of the Jewish dietary laws. Food in accord with halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English. It is from the Hebrew term kashér, meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption by Jews according to traditional Jewish law). The equivalent for Muslims, as per Islam, is Halal food.
