Havdil (havdalah) - meaning difference, distinction, distinctive, In order for an animal to be kosher it must have two identification signs:
Chazer - Swine, Pigs hog Hebrew word for pig is "chazer", which also means "return", compounding the deception as if to say that the pig additionally returns its food (i.e. chews its cud) and has the inner kosher sign as well.

A kosher fish must possess both fins and scales. (Fins help the fish swim, and scales are a covering over the body.) Even if the fish has only one scale or one fin, it is permitted. Tuna, for example, have very few scales, yet is kosher. Other popular kosher fish are bass, carp, cod, flounder, halibut, herring, mackerel, trout and salmon. kosher varieties of sushi and caviar -- providing it's from a kosher species (fins and scales), and that it was prepared only with kosher utensils (knife, cutting board, etc.)
Crustaceans (such as lobster and crab) and other shellfish (such as clams) are not kosher, because they lack scales. Further, all aquatic mammals (e.g. whales and dolphins) are not kosher.

Four species of locusts that are kosher However, all other insects are not kosher.
ha arbeh
(
ארבּה)
in Hebrew. Red
swarming locust is most destructive member of locust family) ; grad in Arabic (Saadia). According to Yemenite traditions, this reddish locust is permitted (Yosef Kapach, Halikhoth Teimon, Jerusalem, 1968, p. 218). More generally, arbeh denotes the Sudanese or desert locust (Scistocerca gregaria) which reaches the Holy Land in large numbers.
ha sal'am
in Hebrew (סלעם
) yellow devastating
bald headed locust.Plagues of the desert locust Rashona in Aramaic (Chullin 65a); daba or dabai in Arabic (Saadia; Ibn Janach). The yellow locust is permitted according to Yemenite tradition (Halikhoth Teimon). The Talmud describes the sal'am as having a head which is bald in front (gabachath; see Leviticus 13:42) and long (Chullin 65b; Yad, Maakhaloth Assuroth 1:22; cf. Avodah Zarah 37a). It is therefore sometimes translated as 'bald locust' or 'long-headed locust.' This locust, the rashon, is said to resemble a human embryo in its first stages of development (Niddah 25a; Arukh). have threatened agricultural production
in Africa, the Middle
East and Asia for centuries. The livelihood of at least one-tenth of the world’s human
population can be affected by this hungry insect.The desert locust lives a solitary life, until it rains. Rain causes vegetation growth and
spurs the development of eggs that have been laid in the sandy soil. The new vegetation provides food for the newly hatched
locusts and provides them with shelter as they develop into winged adults.
Ha chargol
(חרגּל)
in Hebrew spotted grey locust ; nippulah in Aramaic; chartziyiya in Arabic, according to Yemenite tradition (Halikhoth Teimon). The Talmud describes this locust as having a tail (Chullin 65a); some therefore identify it with the long-horned grasshopper (tettigonidae), since the female has a long protuberance with which it lays eggs. The Septuagint translates chargol as ophiomaches
which literally means 'snake fighter.' It may have been given this name
because of its long snake-like body or tail. The name also denotes a
large insect, perhaps a giant grasshopper, as is also suggested by its
Aramaic name, nippulah, which suggests a nifla, Hebrew for giant. Its large eggs were used as amulets (Shabbath 6:10).
Ha chagav (חגב) are white locust in Hebrew; gandav in Arabic (Saadia). According to Yemenite tradition, this is a small white locust (Halikhoth Teimon). From scripture it also appears to be the smallest of the locusts (cf. Numbers 13:33).
Although the details of kashrut are extensive, the laws all derive from a few fairly simple, straightforward rules:
Certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals.
Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law.
All blood must be drained from the meat or broiled out of it before it is eaten.
Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten.
Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (According to some views, fish may not be eaten with meat).
Utensils that have come into contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. This applies only where the contact occurred while the food was hot.
Grape products made by non-Jews may not be eaten.
