Reply To: Help At Home

I noticed one of friends, never calls them maids. She refers to them as housekeepers or dayworkers. I have since prefered not to refer to them as maids. They are people after all and believe it, or not they help some of you out. I prefer the hebrew term, “ozereth”, as they are helpers.

I have a question though about kashruth though. One of the problems I have about people having maids, is, one someone isn’t home, how do you know the housekeeper won’t make herself a cup of coffee and then use you meat spoons to mix it up?? or cutting a grilled cheese sandwich with a meat knife?? I don’t understand how someone can leave a Goy in their home and leave just like that. Yeah, they show you they know the difference between meat and milk when you are there, but why should the care what happens when your out of the home??
