One of the things I find most grating about the Times is the way it sometimes seems totally oblivious to the possibility that some Jews might take their religious law seriously.
This occurred to me the other day on reading a Mark Bittman column that goes on and on about what a fool anyone would be to cook with anything other than butter or lard. The possibility that someone might avoid lard because it isn't kosher, or might not want to cook with butter because of kosher restrictions against mixing milk and meat, is not mentioned or considered. (A 2014 interview with Mr. Bittman reported, "Bittman says he pretty much has had nothing to do with Judaism since he graduated from high school in 1967.")
Then there was the editorial in Friday's Times. mocking a $1,200-a-night spa hotel in Germany where rooms offer a switch that "allows a guest to disconnect from the digital world entirely" by activating copper plates that block wireless signals. The idea that observant Jews disconnect from the digital world for a whole day each week on the sabbath doesn't make it into the Times editorial, though it was the first thing that I (and probably lots of other observant Jewish readers) thought of when I read it.
