This is indeed the case and stems from the Biblical prohibition against boiling a calf in its mother's milk. The amount of time that should be left between consuming meat and dairy varies with different Jewish communities having different traditions. Around six hours if perhaps commonest, but among some communities (such as the Dutch) it is as little as one hour.
