Do Medicines Have to Be Kosher? (part 2) | Daily Halacha #59

People ask me all the time — do medications need a hechsher? What about gelcaps? Vitamins? Supplements? Can you take them if they contain treif ingredients like gelatin? In today’s shiur, we continue our halachic series on the kashrus of medicine. We’ll discuss the concept of אחשביה — turning something inedible into food — and how that affects pills, syrups, and treatments. We’ll explain the ruling of the Rema: that a choleh, even one without sakanah, may take certain medications — and why some items like vitamins might still require a hechsher. With real clarity and real halacha, straight from the Shulchan Aruch, the Chazon Ish, and the Rabbanut. 📌 Watch More Daily Halacha: https://shorturl.at/9i0a3 📌 Subscribe for More: https://shorturl.at/InIF2 📌 Learn with Rabbi Haber: https://yaacovhaber.com 📘 Books by Rabbi Haber: https://mosaicapress.com/book-author/rabbi-yaacov-haber/ 📲 Facebook: www.facebook.com/RabbiYaacovHaber 📲 Instagram: www.instagram.com/rabbiyaacovhaber #Kashrus #Halacha #medicine #KosherFood #DailyHalacha
