...serve lobster and bacon?
My mom told me about a fundraiser for a Jewish charity that benefits the poor in which there was a tasting of Israeli wines, attended mostly by Jewish people. The article about it that she read said there were lots of delicious-sounding things served, including lobster with bacon.
Why would this be served at a Jewish event?
And why, for that matter, do people who are proud to be Jewish eat lobster and bacon?
I guess it shoudn't matter to me, 'cause I was never Jewish and I only avoid those foods for health reasons, but I am curious.

It may have been a Jewish event, but in Judaism we are to cater to our guests...if our guests like to eat things like lobster and pork, we should probably get it for them, it's just polite. Our dietary restrictions are only placed on us, anyways, so that's the thinking behind it. Also, not all Jews are observant. You can think of Judaism as a family, instead of as a race or religion. You can have some members of the family not practice any of the family traditions, but they still carry the family name and be proud of being in the family, right?
Peace, and thanks for asking.

Was it definitely bacon from pork? Turkey bacon is common now.
So is fake lobster made from fish.
Might even be kosher.
Also, not all Jewish people keep kosher. And for those that do, there are different levels of strictness.

It was for a Charity after all and all the people there wasn't Jewish. There were probably big rich Heathens who love pork and lobster so being Jews they really are experts at getting money out of people so let them run it the way they know best.

Since not all Jewish sects observe those dietary restrictions, I don't see why they would enforce them. You say "including" so it's clear that those weren't the only things served. It sounds like they're allowing people to make they're own decisions regarding what they'd like to eat.

i would be unable to be stricken to verify all your info, yet Jesus did stay and die a practising Jew. even nevertheless, that he grew to become into the Messiah isn't familiar by Judaism's standards of what the Messiah would be (in accordance to the prophecies interior the Tanakh), so if one worships him simply by fact the Messiah, they're not Jewish. they're Christian, as Christians have distinctive standards for their Messiah (as their "previous testomony" isn't the comparable simply by fact the Tanakh). desire this helped. Peace.

Not all Jews keep Kosher, just as not all Christians observe the Lenten fast.

many jews, unfortunately, do not observe judaism and a great many of them know nothing about judaism. at the risk of being extremely un-p.c., I'll say that most reform and conservative jews know nothing about judaism. so, that's why you find jewish people sometimes doing very un-jewish things.

Not all Jewish people abstain from those foods. It depends on the sect.
