I believe Karaite Jews are correct when it comes to what is and is not Kosher. It is the rigorous and arbitrary rules that men set up which turn people away from God.

NPR, where Ms. Gradstein worked for years, is known to be a lefty outlet. And Linda Gradstein has been writing extremely biased stories for years which put Israel in a bad light. That seems to be her claim to fame. A singular specialty of hers is publicizing Jews who are seeking to buck traditional authority bodies of Orthodox Judaism and ridiculing said bodies as stodgy and unyielding, not "modern". Writing so-called "dirt" about them, taken out of context. Well baby, that iron clad refusal to change is why Judaism, B"H, is still around and kicking after 5,000 years and lots of other religions petered out. Satan is always on duty, 24/7, trying to tempt Jews to relax their practices, a micro millimeter at a time. It's not such a big change. Just this little step. Go on, it's the modern thing to do.

Gradstein and her ilk are agents of Satan. They themselves, not fervent believers, use the pulpit of their news stories to attack what they personally reject to try to justify their position. I've seen their kind before, and tossed their lies right back in their face. Gradstein has written stories praising circumventing the Israeli Rabbinate for kashrus, praising a couple seeking to push their wedding rites and procedures right up to the net of Jewish law, and I'm sure, if I spent the time, I could find more stories by her praising people who are pushing the traditional envelope of Jewish law. She really should work for Hillary. That would be right up her alley, spreading lies and biased shadings on stories.

I am so grateful that the Lord, through Peter’s dream in Acts 10, freed us from kosher rules — and that Christianity doesn’t require rules of dress either.
