Is CBD Oil a Kosher Food?

View the original article about If CBD Oil is a Kosher Food at Real Tested CBD.No dietary tradition is as old or complex as kosher cooking. While it may seem like kosher cuisine is “Biblical history,” many modern-day Jews take this traditional diet seriously. Indeed, recent surveys suggest over 50 percent non-Orthodox Jews still follow the kosher diet. Even higher percentages of Orthodox Jews subscribe to a kosher lifestyle.As CBD oil has become mainstream, people from all walks of life want to try hemp extract. Understandably, many customers who practice Judaism want to ensure CBD oil meets their dietary restrictions.Although kosher cooking isn’t a “nutritional” diet like keto, people who subscribe to kosher laws are sensitive to eating anything that falls outside their guidelines. It’s far beyond the scope of this blog to review centuries of rabbinical law, but we can say a few things about how CBD fits into kosher cuisine.Give Me a Straight Ans...

Prominent Daly City music teacher charged for alleged four-year relationship with student

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:52 GMT

DALY CITY — A man who guided students in a Daly City middle school visual and performing arts program has been charged with 24 felonies in connection to an alleged relationship he maintained with a teen for nearly four years, prosecutors said.San Francisco resident Marcus Deon Dyson, 50, was a music teacher at Garnet Robertson Intermediate School in December 2014 when he began a relationship with a 14-year-old girl who was assisting in his class. The woman, now 22, alleged that the pair grew close and began a sexual relationship. She claimed that they’d had sex both at his home and at the school.According to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office, Dyson gave the girl a key to his apartment when she was 16, and he introduced her to his mother and children. Prosecutors said Dyson admitted in a pre-text call that he “probably would have waited” when looking back on the situation.The relationship continued until the girl graduated from high school in Jun...

After 53 years, Newark’s beloved Jade Palace restaurant calls it quits

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:52 GMT

For more than 50 years Jade Palace has been a fixture in the Newark community, serving chow mein and Mongolian beef to lifetime regulars and celebrities like rock musician Greg Kihn and pro wrestler Alexis Smirnoff.But that legacy is ending on Dec. 21 when the restaurant in the Old Town Center shuts its doors for good. The family that runs Jade Palace is calling it quits following the death of family patriarch and restaurant cofounder, Edwin Yee Wing Lee, last winter.“My dad fell and had a hemorrhage and eventually bled to death. He fought for a whole month in the hospital but did not make it,” says Phillip Lee, who’s been running the restaurant with family members ever since. “My dad, he was going to be 90 pretty soon, but he was still the Energizer Bunny. He was one of those kinds of guys who lived to work – for 50-odd years, he’d been working here every single day.”Edwin Yee Wing Lee stands with Al Nagy, the mayor of Newark, in this undated photo from the Jade Palace ...

Share the Spirit: Lincoln Families opened the doors for one mother to learn English — and so much about herself

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:52 GMT

Aurora Sanchez was confident she was doing the right thing, following her husband to the United States from El Salvador to start a new life and a family. She hadn’t quite known what to expect in her new country, and finding her way was filled with unknowns and isolation.It was daunting. Sanchez, speaking through a translator, says it was “very difficult” to leave her family and adjust to a different country with a different language, culture, and way of life. She felt lonely, stressed, and depressed despite her happiness with the birth of her daughter.That’s when she found Lincoln Families, a 140-year-old Oakland-based organization that works with an assortment of agencies to connect families and children struggling with poverty and trauma with important life-changing programs and resources.The roots of the organization began in 1883 when its founder, Rebecca McWade, known in the community as “a kind woman,” found a young child on her doorstep and incorporated the first racially int...

Last-minute surprise retirement upends Alameda County supervisor race

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:52 GMT

A 30-year incumbent has retired suddenly from the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, just months before an election he was almost guaranteed to win–and it’s not yet clear who’ll be his successor.Supervisor Keith Carson is photographed at the East Bay Times studio on Friday, Jan. 17, 2020. Carson announced he is no longer running for the Alameda County Supervisor District 5 seat. (Laura A. Oda/Bay Area News Group) Over his career on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, Keith Carson has helped move the county toward sustainability, championed programs for the unhoused, and chaired a number of committees that promoted economic development. And when he began putting together the paperwork in November to run again, most people thought the supervisor, who was first elected to the board in 1992, was planning to continue that work for another term.So it came as some surprise when he announced Friday just minutes after the filing deadline  that he wouldn’t be run...

For the San Jose Sharks, does trading their ‘pulse’ make sense?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:52 GMT

The rebuilding San Jose Sharks have 10 pending unrestricted free agents, and it’s no secret that any number of them could be shipped to another team before the NHL’s trade deadline in March.“It’s the reality of our situation,” Sharks coach David Quinn said over the weekend. “When you’re in our situation, people are going to want to take your good players and give you future assets. That’s just the nature of the business.”The question for members of the Sharks’ front office will be whether they also want to trade defenseman Mario Ferraro, who is signed through the 2025-26 season and is reportedly coveted by some opposing teams given his work ethic, ability to play big minutes, leadership qualities and a relatively modest salary cap hit of $3.25 million.Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said earlier this month that the Sharks would consider trading several of their defensemen, noting also that Ferraro, 25, isn’t necessarily an untouchable – for the right price.General ma...
