Jacob ben Reuben was a Karaite scholar and Bible exegesis exegete of the eleventh century. He wrote a brief Hebrew language commentary on the entire Bible, which he entitled Sefer ha Osher, because, as he says in the introduction, the reader will find therein sufficient information, and will not need to have recourse to the many voluminous commentaries which the author himself had consulted. The book is, in fact, merely a compilation the author s explanation of any given passage is frequently introduced by the abbreviations or i.e., Arabic ma nahu or ya ni that is to say and divergent explanations of other commentators are added one after the other and preceded by the vague phrase another says . It is, in fact, chiefly an extract of Yefet ben Ali s work, from whom Jacob borrowed most of his explanations as well as the quotations from various authors, chiefly on the Pentateuch. But Jacob also drew upon later Karaite authors, the last of whom is Jeshua ben Judah , who, so far as is known, flourished about 1054 see Harkavy, Hadashim gam Yeshanim, vii. 17 . This date points to the second half of the eleventh century as the date of composition of the Sefer ha Osher. Among Rabbi nitic authors Jacob quotes Abu al Walid ibn Janah but his quotations have apparently been intentionally suppressed by Firkovich in his edition see Abraham Harkavy , Altj dische Denkm ler aus der Krim, p. 211, note 1 , though they are found in the manuscripts, and one of them has been given in the edition on Jer. iv. 37 fol. 2b, line 1 .

It is a pillar in the ideologies of Habonim Dror .

If you agree with what the source s are saying and therefore find meaning in the practise, then kashrut has just become not only a meaningful Jewish practise in your life, but has also caused you to look deeper into Judaism and probably helped strengthen your Jewish identity. If the source doesn t appeal to you, can you find an alternative Jewish source to help you out with another way to practise some form of kashrut? Is there a non Jewish source that could help you out with your dilemma? If the whole practise is devoid of meaning, or you are against the practise for any reason then don t do it any more.
