The Gemara (37b) explains that the prohibition is learnt from the aforementioned pasuk, which compares food to water: “just as water has not changed, so food [that one may take from a non-Jew] has not changed.” The Gemara concludes that the prohibition is derabonon and the above drosha is merely an asmachta [hint]. However, R’ Moshe Feinstein (Igros Moshe, Yoreh Deah 1:45) and Tzitz 1 Eliezer (9:41) rule that the main reason is to prevent intermarriage, and eating foods cooked by a non-Jew is not problematic as long as one is sure that the ingredients are, indeed, kosher. R’ Moshe Shternbuch (Teshuvos V’Hanogas 1:470) writes, that even if strictly speaking there is no problem with intermarriage by marrying a non–religious Jew, the whole idea behind the gezeirah was to ensure people don’t end up marrying goyim and leaving the path of Torah and mitzvos. Therefore, even though strictly speaking there is no issur to marry a non–religious Jew, one should still try and distance himself, in order to save himself from marrying into them and ending up leading a life which isn’t going along the path of Torah and mitzvos. The two explanations will also apply to the exception for foods that are not served at the king’s table: either the food is not important enough to cause intermarriage, or the food will not cause Jews and non-Jews to dine together, and thus provides no cause for concern that a Jew will eat non-kosher foods. Sephardim Using Ashkenazi Kashrus While some Askenazi kashrus agencies are stringent to follow the Shulchan Aruch’s approach that requires a Jew to actively take part in the cooking process, many are not, and only require that the mashgiach should turn on the oven at the beginning of the day. It is possible, however, that even Sephardim may be lenient with regard to kitchen staff in a Jewish establishment, because of the combination of two reasons for leniency: 1) the fact that the food is cooked in a Jewish home (above), and 2) the fact that the fire was lit by a Jew. 4 Microwaves Commenting on a ruling of Shulchan Aruch, which disti
