Why Don't Jews Mix Meat and Milk? Part 3

In this episode of Dear Rabbi, I continue to examine the biblical prohibition against mixing meat and milk by analyzing the placement of this commandment in various biblical contexts. I address why the verse "do not seethe a kid in its mother's milk" appears alongside temple sacrifice laws in Exodus, rather than with other dietary laws as in Deuteronomy. Through the lens of classical Jewish commentators like Rashi, Rabbi Moshe David Cassuto, and Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, I explore various interpretations: that the Torah reminds us about this prohibition when we consume large amounts of meat during festivals, that it contrasts Jewish practice with non-Jewish customs, and that it represents the spiritual separation between life-giving elements (milk) and physical matter (meat). I emphasize how traditional Jewish scholarship approaches these textual questions with intellectual honesty, seeking deeper understanding rather than justification for changing religious practice. This episode demonstrates how the Torah's precise placement of verses teaches multiple lessons simultaneously.
