On the TV show Dinner:Impossible, the chef (who was not Jewish) was challenged to make a Kosher meal for Passover. It was interesting - have to have food such as coconut labled kosher for Passover (kosher wasn't good enough), can't drink milk in coffee, etc.
I'm not challenging the Jewish customs but just curious, sorry if any questions sound ignorant:
1. Do Jews have to eat kosher every day?
2. Are the customs based on actual scriptures which can be found in the Bible? If so, any reasons on why it is so?
3. With products such as the coconut, what makes "kosher for Passover" different from "kosher"?
4. Does kosher mean that it has in no way touched any meat product?
Im not Jewish but I follow a Biblical diet as best I can. Yes Jewish Kosher is based on dietary laws handed down in Torah.
Cheese cant be with meat from a scripture that says not to boil a calf in its mothers milk.
To understand the process that they extract the principle is to look at the rabbinical process of discussion of the scriptures. Similar to the bishops of the catholic church refining their does and dont's.

I'm not jewish either but a jewish friend once explained to me that it began as a safety thing. Back in the day before dishwashers and sanitary things like bleach, food poisoning was rampant. The dishes were cracked and the "juice" from the meats could get into the cracks on the dishes and contaminate other food. It's a lot more involved but like many jewish customs it has to do with keeping the people safe.
Hi, I keep kosher in home ( I try to keep Kosher style when eating out )
Yes, you should keep kosher every day. Since there are many movements there are many ways people choose to keep kosher.
Regards to Kosher for Passover and Regular Kosher.
I'll put links at the Bottom of the section.
Kosher Dairy - something with an U in a circle and a D means something has dairy
Kosher meat - Can be glatt or not glatt - it has an OU (look at empire chicken)
Something with an U is neither dairy nor meat. It is considered Pareve or parve.
Oh my gosh, how does anyone ever remember all the rules?
It sure makes one curious why all these customs came into being, such as prohibited items such as leavened bread and "grain that came into contact with water for more than 18 minutes".
