heidiMy husband and I were talking about ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naominovik's Temeraire series last week while on a long drive, in the middle of talking about Passover, and we wondered how a dragon belonging to a Jewish family or working with a Jewish aviator would deal with Passover (or kashrut laws in general), and it seems someone else was wondering about a wider range of imaginary creatures, and whether they'd be treyf or kosher.
Check out Evil Monkey’s Guide to Kosher Imaginary Animals so you can learn whether a Jackalope is kosher, and whether a rabbi will marry you to a mermaid - assuming she is either born Jewish, or converts.
Which leads me to wonder - do Jewish mermaids need to go to the Mikva? Or are they perpetually Mikva-ized?
