So I know Passover is a ways away but I have a question about it. I recently got diagnosed with celiac and Ulcerative colitis and what i can and cant eat is already very restricted as I'm vegetarian as well. Is it alright for me to keep eating beans, corn, and rice? Sorry if this doesnt make sense. I just have to keep my diet pretty much the same to help my condition stay stable and not flair up. Thank you so much!!

My mother was a Jewish convert, but she died when I was three so I haven’t been brought up in the culture or the religion. I didn’t even know she was Jewish until my aunt recently told me. Does that make me a Jew?

This may be kind of daft, but are chicken goujons breaded using egg kosher, or is it kind of a 'boiling the lamb in the milk of its mother' situation?

I'm moving out from my parents' place soon and am saving up to get new cookware. I'm also Jewish and this seems like a good time to start things kosher. The problem is my new roommates aren't Jewish and don't keep kosher. What dishes do I need to get new rather than used, and how can I keep my stuff kosher in a kitchen where other people aren't keeping kosher?

Hello! I am looking to go into the medical field and many classes involve dissection of animals or cadavers. I was just wondering if this was a big no-no to Judaism, like for being kosher and such. I know the companies that distribute specimens have strict methods to prevent cruelty, but idk if that would be covered by the kosher law, and then for touching a dead animal/human, etc.

This is probably a basic question, but... When someone makes a bracha over, for example, the food they're about to eat, are you supposed to say amen when they're done saying it?

This is a silly question, but: If you have a camping trailer, do you put a car mezuzah or a regular mezuzah on it? It's more permanent than a tent in that it always keeps its shape and it's bigger, but it moves around and isn't necessarily a permanent dwelling.

Hey Jumblr, I know that I would have to ask a rabbi to know officially, but I still would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. Have you ever heard about married women successfully converting without their husband?
