.kosher[edit | edit source]
.kosher is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It is intended for use by entities that adhere to kosher dietary laws, which are a set of Jewish dietary laws that dictate what foods are permissible for consumption and how they must be prepared. The .kosher domain is part of a broader trend of creating specialized gTLDs that cater to specific communities and interests.
Background[edit | edit source]
The concept of kosher, derived from the Hebrew word "kashér," meaning "fit" or "proper," encompasses a comprehensive set of dietary laws that are central to Judaism. These laws are detailed in the Torah and further elaborated in the Talmud. They include prohibitions against consuming certain animals, such as pork and shellfish, and require specific methods of slaughtering animals, known as shechita.
Purpose of .kosher[edit | edit source]
The .kosher domain aims to provide a dedicated online space for businesses, organizations, and individuals who are involved in the kosher food industry or who wish to promote kosher products and services. This includes kosher certification agencies, kosher food manufacturers, and retailers who specialize in kosher products.
Registration Requirements[edit | edit source]
To register a .kosher domain, applicants typically need to demonstrate a legitimate connection to the kosher industry. This may involve providing proof of kosher certification or affiliation with a recognized kosher certification body. The goal is to maintain the integrity of the domain and ensure that it is used by entities that genuinely adhere to kosher standards.
Significance[edit | edit source]
The introduction of the .kosher domain reflects the growing importance of niche gTLDs in the digital landscape. It allows kosher businesses to enhance their online presence and reach a targeted audience interested in kosher products. Additionally, it helps consumers easily identify websites that are likely to offer kosher-compliant goods and services.
