Yes, there is no prohibition against eating meat in Judaism; and during holidays, eating meat is a mitzva (religious observance). However, not all meat is allowed; mammals must have both split hooves and chew their cud in order to be considered kosher for eating.

∙ 6y agoJews can eat meat from multiple animals, including (but not exclusively) cow, sheep, goat, etc., but only if that meat has been ritually slaughtered (as opposed to killed prior to slaughter) by a certified shochet and prepared for consumption in compliance with Jewish Kosher laws.

∙ 12y agoJews eat meat whenever the family meal-planner decides it would be appealing and kosher meat is available. In fact, the tradition is to eat at least two types of meat during celebrations, especially for the Sabbath dinner (Friday night).
Exceptions are: -- on the holiday of Shavuot, 7 weeks after Passover (customary in some families, not mandatory); and -- during the first 9 days of the month of Av, occurring in the summer.

∙ 12y agoThe sheep is a kosher animal, so yes. But for traditional Jews, it must be slaughtered and processed according to Jewish law.
It is important to note that some Jews are vegetarian or vegan (for many reasons) and would not eat sheep meat.

The effort in the Jewish family is to make the Sabbath 'special', including eating
your best and wearing your best and feeling your best on that day.
If it happened that a Jewish family were so poor that they could afford meat
or wine or fine fish only once in a week, then they should enjoy those special
luxuries on the Sabbath.

∙ 7y agoIn order to be kosher, food has to be prepared according to the kosher-laws (see Deuteronomy ch.14). These are explained in detail in the Talmud-volume of Chullin.
* Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef, venison and mutton).
* Fish have to have scales and fins. Shellfish are not kosher.
* Birds cannot be among those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only those species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as domestic chicken, geese, pigeons and turkey.
* Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as having been prepared in the kosher manner.
* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done at home or by the kosher butcher, through salting, soaking and rinsing.
* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.
* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.
Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Processed foods should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant Jews.

What meat can't the Jews eat on the sabbath?
There is no prohibition against eating kosher meat during Shabbat. The reverse is true; it's expected that meat be eaten during the two main Shabbat meals. On Passover, Jews cannot eat leavened bread (whereas they can at other times of the year). Shabbat does not mirror this. The same kosher rules for the rest of the week apply on Shabbat. Jews cannot eat pork on any day of the week and conversely, Jews can eat tuna or kosher meat on any day of the week.
