[Sca-cooks] Redacting another Jewish dish (fwd)

[Zachary Kessin]

The karites are a Jewish Sect that broke off some time in period, as
someone else noted they don't follow the oral law, as a result they are
much of the details on how to observe the Shabbat that are in the talmud
they don't do. In specific they don't allow any fire to go over Shabbat.

The rules for this are somewhat complex, but I will try to get a copy of
the Schulcan Aruch and post a summery if I can. In truth you should
consult a Rabbi on how to do this.

I did verify that the Schulcan Aruch (16th century) says that some people
have the custom to serve a meat pie for dinner in Shabbat, it was covered
(by the dough) from above and bellow, in rememberence of the Manna in the
Desert. It does note that this custom is not binding.
