The design of this map is first and foremost about function. I want to be able to pull it out of my back pocket the next time someone asks if something is kosher and walk them through the steps that lead me to that conclusion ideologically. It’s hard to break down such a rich history into a simple infographic, but I did my best to allude to the nuances of Judaism through questions that start with “do I think about…” and “do I care…” The craft of the document, and my choice to print on textured tan paper reflect the styles of traditional Jewish literature.
