Viagra had been deemed not kosher since 1998 under strict dietary laws regarding the week-long Jewish Passover holiday because its coating was considered inedible over Passover, when contact with everyday ingredients, known as hametz, is forbidden under Jewish law.

Here’s how Pfizer tried to justify (find a loop hole in Jewish law) their Viagra during Passover:

Viagra’s Israeli manufacturer, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals-Israel, said swallowing the capsule does not breach Jewish law because the Viagra would not come into direct contact with the body.

LOL

 

The good news! According to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, Rabbi Eliahu, a former chief rabbi, said men can take Viagra if they purchase special capsules made from kosher gelatin in which to put the pill before the holiday starts.
