Due to the difficulties in establishing the validity of such traditions, later rabbinical authorities forbade contact with all types of locust, to ensure that the ritually unclean locusts were avoided""<br /><br />D'oh - no locusts for me :-(.Ben Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833753747177544979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-23437758316579674732010-10-11T21:47:02.663-04:002010-10-11T21:47:02.663-04:00You could try the Kosher locusts! http://en.wikipe...You could try the Kosher locusts! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashrut_of_animals#Flying_InsectsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
