   I have heard "citron" used as an English translation of "esrog", the fruit
   used in Jewish Tabernacle (Sukos/Sukkot) celebrations. Is "citron" the
   correct translation of the name for said fruit, or is it just an
   approximation? Does citron denote any specific (citrus fruit), or is it a
   general word (for a citrus)?

   Well, the simple way to know is if you are buying it, kosher foods are
   usually marked with some kind of kosher mark, like (U) or (K) or some such.
   If you're making it, you can not use dairy products ("milchigs") and meat
   products ("fleishigs") in the same dough, or even the same meal. I don't
   keep kosher either (I was raised Jewish, but I am now an aetheist/humanist)
   but my mother does.

   something. The yiddish "fleishig" or "meaty" comes from the german from
   which stems the english "flesh." I never before noticed that connection.
