OT - Question, Category Uncertain

[J T]

OK, this is not first hand info, so can't verify its validity, bu if it is true, I'm curious. I've heard that at some eating establishments in Israel that you can order 'white beef', which is, of course, pork.

I've got nothing against this personally, pork chops are in fact one of my favorite vegetables.

Now these are Jews (of the Jewish faih) eating this, not 'foreigners'. My question is: Should this be Kosher?

I know several Jews and they don't keep Kosher. I would think there are secular Jews in Israel as well.

No it is not. White beef is breed of British steer.

Pork is not kosher. Irrespective of what you call it. Period. Whether an individual Jew observes the religious dietary laws is a personal matter.

Some accommodations are made in Israel for non-Jewish residents. There is no blanket law forbidding vehicular traffic on Saturday, for example. On the other hand, El Al, the Israeli national airline, does not fly on Saturday.
