Out of Town Kashrus

This is the difference between being a cautious professional and being a regular dad. We went to a community in the south that does not have a major Jewish community. They had a show but not a community and I took my kids to the local Kroger supermarket and I told them that we don't have dinner. I specifically did not bring food and there is no kosher restaurant here. So, we're going to find food in the local supermarket because we have to see what it's like to live out of town [music] and what are you going to do? And I remember my kids looking around and trying to find stuff and saying like, almost all the beans are not kosher. There's only one flavor. I said, well, I guess that's the one we're going to have. And guess what? We managed perfectly fine and instead of [music] taking them to a restaurant in a major Jewish community, they have a memory and a picture of what it's like to live out of town. They're not afraid of looking for things without hashgacha and learning how to handle them. I feel like it's an important thing for people to be aware of that you don't always have food on you when we're traveling around the world and we have to figure out how to manage in our local environment and part [music] of that means buying fish at a non-kosher place and knowing how to avoid problems in order to keep kosher wherever we are.
