Renowned chef Aviv Moshe has revealed his significant decision in recent years to adhere to kashrut (dietary laws) and refrain from working on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. Moshe stated emphatically that he would not open a non-kosher restaurant today, having stopped eating or cooking non-kosher food himself. He explained that observing Shabbat has had a profoundly positive impact on his family life, allowing him to spend time with his children and get to know them better, as they rarely see him during the week.
Moshe's experience aligns with other public figures who have spoken about the benefits of Shabbat observance. Singer and creator Bar Tzabari recently described disconnecting from his phone on Shabbat as feeling like a "brain massage," while actress Eliana Tidhar also shared that she refrains from working on the Sabbath.
Furthermore, Moshe commented on the evolving perception of kosher restaurants in Israel. He noted that kosher establishments are no longer solely for the religious and ultra-Orthodox communities, stating that one does not necessarily see everyone wearing kippahs (religious head coverings) in such places anymore. He also highlighted the economic advantages, asserting that opening a kosher restaurant has become a more financially sound decision, proving to be the right move today.
