Why do Jews separate Milk and Meat?
Note: Much of this information is summarized or extracted from Steve Weintraub’s Kashrut Class on Meat and Milk, [5]http://www.chelm.org/jewish/kashrut/l3.milk_and_meat.html, with permission. The Torah commands us three times (Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34:26 and Deuteronomy 14:21) not to cook a kid in its mother’s milk.
