?Can Jews eat horses
According to the Hebrew Bible (the Torah), Jews are forbidden to eat the flesh of horses. This prohibition is based on the laws o
kashrut, which are the Jewish dietary laws. The exact reason for this prohibition is unclear, but it may be due to the fact that horses were not domesticated until after the Israelites had entered the Promised Land. As such, they may not have been considered to be kosher (fit for consumption) by the ancient Israelites.
There are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, Jews are allowed to eat horse meat if it is cooked in a fire, such as in a barbecue. Additionally, horses that are used for work, such as plowing or carrying people, are considered to be tame and are therefore allowed to be eaten. However, horses that are not used for work are still considered to be wild and are therefore not kosher.
In modern times, there are very few Jews who eat horse meat. This is due to the fact that horses are not a common source of food in most Jewish communities. Additionally, there is a growing awareness among Jews of the ethical concerns surrounding the consumption of horse meat.
Overall, while Jews are technically allowed to eat horse meat, it is a very rare practice. Most Jews avoid eating horse meat for religious and ethical reasons.
