Chaim Loike (born 1977 in New York) is an American Rabbi who works for the Orthodox Union. He is an expert on kosher species of birds.〔"A Quacky Visitor at the OU", ''Jewish Action'' (Winter 2013)〕 He is the director of the Biblical Ornithological Society. ==Kosher bird species== The Bible gives a list of non-kosher birds in and . (See kosher animals for full article). However, today it is not clear which species the Bible had in mind. People who keep kosher rely on several rules listed in the Talmud and on tradition to know which birds may be consumed. Jewish law also dictates that birds that interbreed can be considered members of the same species. This is one of the reasons why turkeys, which were unknown in the Middle East in ancient time, are considered kosher by many Jewish groups. Over the past decade, Chaim Loike has interviewed Jewish elders from far-flung communities, such as Afghanistan, to document their traditions regarding kosher bird species. He has also extensively bred and raised many exotic birds in order to determine their kosher status. Loike worked extensively on different species of quails in order to determine if they are kosher, and his research was used by Rabbi Yisroel Belsky as the basis for his ruling on the matter.〔''The Daf Hakashrus: A Monthly Newsletter for the OU Rabbinic Field Representative'', Vol. 13, No. 7 (April 2005) p.19〕 He has also written on the subject of partridges, ruling that several different species should follow the precedent set by the chukar partridge and be considered kosher.〔"Crested-Wood Partridge Not Accepted as a Kosher Partridge", ''Behind the Union Symbol'' (Winter 2009) p.18〕 In another instance, he raised runner ducks.〔http://www.ou.org/index.php/ou/print_this/68990/〕 Rabbi Loike lectures extensively for the Orthodox Union on the subject, often bringing live birds for the presentations.〔''Durbach, Elaine, "Kosher Food Seminar is for the Birds - and Bugs" in ''New Jersey Jewish News'' May 18, 2011.〕 He is also a lecturer at Touro College.〔http://lcw.touro.edu/staff/faculty/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chaim Loike」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
