Why don't Jew's eat cheeseburger's?

Answer 1

Dairy is permitted in Judaism.

Jews consider dairy products kosher as long as they are not from forbidden animals or nothing is added to the product to render it non-kosher, such as rennet in cheese. Additionally, some Jews will only use products labeled 'chalav Yisroel', these are dairy items that have Jews directly involved in their production.

Answer 2

The practice of not eating dairy products with meat comes from the Torah prohibition again cooking a kid (baby goat) in its mother's milk. The exact quote is:

"You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk" (Exodus 23:19)

The reason for this prohibition is humanitarian. The practice of cooking a young animal in its mother's milk is cruel and therefore not allowed.

Now, why do Jews not eat ANY meat with dairy when the mitzvah is so specific? In Jewish practice, there is a tradition called 'building a fence around the Torah'. What this means, is that, in the Torah, there are many mitzvot, like the one quoted above that are specific. However, there is the possibility that a person can accidentally violate or appear to violate the mitzvah in question.

In regard to the prohibition against cooking a young goat in it's mother's milk, once meat is prepared, it's hard or even impossible to tell the difference between different types. Also, there is the possibility that we might accidentally end up eating a young goat that was cooked in its mothers milk thinking that it was a different type of meat. As a result no meats of any kind (including poultry) are cooked in milk so that it doesn't appear that we're violating this mitzvah or that we unknowingly violate the mitzvah.

The fence was taken a step further by prohibiting the combination of ANY meats with ANY dairy products, including cheese. The logic behind this is the same (so that we don't accidentally or appear to have violated the core mitzvah).

Answer 3

These guys were a bunch of drug addicts, Peters vision on the roof was WELL? Something ELSE induced if happened @ ALL. Peter would have had to write the story on his own account unless there was a writer on the roof with him. Not like he's gonna come down off the roof and say, HEY guys, I just had a vision that all these different animals were coming out of the sky, write this down...

People were just un-educated back then. Obviously, Moses and his gang needed some guidance, where a million rules were set.

Answer 4

Not True. Jews Can Eat ALL CHEESE

CHEESE OWNS ALL

Answer 5

It is not kosher to eat dairy with meat, so, putting cheese on a hamburger cannot be done.

Answer 6

There are two basic limitations on Jewish cheese eating:

First, some cheeses are not kosher. The laws of kashrut forbid mixing milk or milk products with meat or meat products. One way to get rennet, the enzyme used to curdle milk for making cheese is to grind up stomach tissue from slaughtered cows and then extract the rennet from the result. Rennet obtained this way cannot be used to make kosher cheeses. Rennet that was excreted by the stomach tissue, as opposed to extracted from it, is acceptable, and there are other ways to curdle milk, including vegetable rennet which is made from plants (actually fungi). Most cheeses made in North America today are made with vegetable rennet.

Second: The laws of kashrut include a required time delay between eating milk and eating meat. For soft cheeses, this is relatively short, but for some hard cheeses, this can be long. These delays are not set in stone, different Jewish communities have different traditions. So, some Jews looking forward to rich meaty dinner might hesitate about having certain hard cheeses at lunch.
