I heard somewhere in Israel there's a farm where they eat pork that were raised without ever touching the ground, therefore, they become kosher. Is this true?

Pigs across the board are supposed to be an 'unclean animal' by Kosher rules.
doesn't matter how you get the pork or anything.pig is still pig.
anything with "cloven hooves" is 'yuck',so I don't think that not touching the ground is the problem/solution here.

I am not Jewish. However as an Adventist, a Christian I feel the dietary laws in the Old Testament still apply. IF they don't that is okay, but I am still going to follow them. They were put into place long before there was a distinction between Jew and Gentile. When Noah finished building the ark, and the animals came the clean animals came in groups of 7 and the unclean in groups of 2. This very thing happened long before God even defined what was kosher and what was not to the Israelites. So for this reason I cannot think that it was done away with, at the cross. I know most Christians would disagree with me on this but that is okay. Acts 10 is likely the most common reason why Christians disagree with me. The story is about Peter. He had a dream where in a white sheet came down and all kinds of unclean animals were in the sheet. God told him to kill and eat. Peter was confused because like all good Jews he was taught that the meat in the sheet was unclean. But I think most Christians forget to read the rest of the story. The meat in the sheet was symbolic, not literal. Jesus was talking about it is okay to spread the gospel to the gentiles, and it didn't have to be for the Jews only. I would dare to doubt that pork will keep anyone out of heaven. However when a person loves the Lord they will do what they are told to do, out of love. The rules about clean and unclean animals were put into place because the so called unclean animals are all scavengers. I am sure that the God who gave us those rules had our best health in mind when they were given.

It's not wierd. Don't forget that Muslims also don't eat pork and slaughter animals in a Halal (equivalent to Kosher) butchering process where the blood is drained. I think there is much to do with the geograpahic origins of Jews and Muslims and the tradition.

No it's not true, and Jews are not weird for not eating pork, many here who are Catholic refrain from eating meat on Friday. (pot meet kettle)
Pork that is not cooked thoroughly will give you trichinosis, which is what probably happened in biblical times. Since they didnt know that cooking the meat to the proper temperature, (no ovens, no thermometers) would kill the larvae, they found it best to avoid the deadly meat altogether. Make sense now, pumpkin?

Listen to Lesroys the laws of kashrut states that it's unkosher to eat an animal with cloved hooves. the jews are weird, the pig is the most diversified animal we as humans eat! Bacon. Ham. Pulled Pork. ETC......

Not to my knowledge.
Pigs are un-kosher because of their physical make-up (cloven hooves), not the way they're raised.

I've never heard of that. I think pigs themselves, no matter how they are raised , are considered an unclean animal and can not be blessed or go through a cleansing ceremony.
