Talk:Bishul Yisrael

I will delete the line about Conservative no longer observing it, as the CJLS As far as I know has issued no such statement, the Rabbi quoted is not speaking in the name of anyone but herself as stated clearly here http://www.schechter.edu/AskTheRabbi.aspx?ID=219 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.208.141 (talk) 21:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC) What if Jew does all the cooking BUT DOES NOT light the fire? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.239.75.128 (talk) 13:19, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

No longer a Stub?
I think the article is no longer a Stub. It looks to me quite complete as it is, though concise. Nahum (talk) 18:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

"Akum"
'literally "worshippers of stars and zodiac signs", but is actually a term for non-Jews)'.

I would have to disagree, especially since this is written in such an odd manner. While Bishul akum is usually a blanket statement for all non-Jewish cooking, Akum on it's own was/is intended to mean only "worshippers of stars and zodiac signs". Nochri (נכרי) is the word used to describe a non Jew. Gavers23 (talk) 17:23, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
