Washington Post Gets "Kosherized"

Today's Washington Post features an article entitled In Kosher Kitchens, More Than Taste Matters. Apart from giving a brief overview of the laws of kashrut, the article, ever so subtley, plugs the new Pomegranate Bistro in Potomac.

The article repeatedly makes use of the term "kosherize." I was unaware that this was a word. Welcome to the vernacular, "kosherize."

As an aside, the article metions a kosher Krispy Kreme in Alexandria, VA, of which I was unaware. The article also quotes R. Sanders of the Va'ad as saying, ""Now there is a guy who wants to open a Chinese place."

I've used the word before. "To kasher" is not really English either and kosherize would be instantly understandable. We're renting a house on Cape Cod this summer and I have been corresponding with the owner about "kosherizing" the kitchen.

This term was actually used in the first episode of "Firefly" in 2002.
