מגבלות קשות הוטלו גם על תחומים אחרים של חיי הדת. בגטו ורשה לדוגמה, נאסרה השחיטה הכשרה, אך יהודים שומרי מצוות מצאו דרך להבריח בשר כשר לתוך הגטו. עם זאת, לאור הרעב הכבד, יהודים רבים, ובתוכם גם שומרי מצוות, שמחו על כל מזון שהגיע לפיהם ולא ניסו לברר מה מקורו.

In some ghettos in Poland, for example, over a period of time public prayer was forbidden. Nevertheless, even then a quorum would continue to meet though in private homes. On festivals and on various other occasions, prayers were said with a large gathering even though assembling without permission was considered a crime, being absolutely forbidden. Harsh limitations were imposed in other aspects of religious life. In the Warsaw Ghetto, for example, the kosher slaughter of animals was forbidden, even so, pious Jews found ways of smuggling kosher meat into the ghetto. Nonetheless, in lieu of the starving conditions, many Jews, among them religious traditionalists, expressed joy at any nourishment that reached their mouths without questioning its source. In some places, the Judenrate attempted to find ways to maintain religious activities with the approval of the rabbis.
