Woman Of Valor
At Kerem El we only offer kosher foods. Sometimes we are faced, on the outside, with choices.
Here are some ideas to graciously decline
the pork-product or pork-product treat, and to kindly
offer a substitution or alternative.
1 . Manners .
Saying, "No, Thank you", goes a long way.
Smile and move on.
No need to go to chapter and verse unless
they ask. State your responses, firmly, but
kindly. Also if you have children, we want
them to speak up. We want them
to want to please the Lord and follow His
commandments.
2 . M a k e i t yours e l f.
Make your own dish to pass. Make your own
marshmallows. Bring turkey pepperoni.
Bring beef hot dogs. Bring non-gelatin fruit
snacks. There are so many other alternatives.
Keep it simple. I am sure there will be
a veggie tray, so load up those carrots and
celery and enjoy your family.
3 . B e C l e a r !
With allergies running rampant these days,
most events will ask if you or your child has
allergies. I state that we don't eat pork,
and I give example of gelatin and pork by
products. That way, we rank with the peanut
allergy kid and nobody bats an eye.
As you dodge that pork chop at the next
function, always remember to come
to all events in the love of Yeshua.
We want them to see our genuine relationship
with the Lord, our devotion to God's word and
the love of Yeshua's sacrifice for them, for us.
