Aliya Summary: As G‑d's children, we are forbidden to deface our
bodies with tattoos or via other forms of mutilation. This section then
provides a list of kosher animals and non-kosher fowl. We are also
given signs to distinguish between kosher animals and fish and their
non-kosher counterparts. The section concludes with the prohibitions
against eating meat from an animal which was not properly slaughtered,
and against cooking meat with milk.
In the spirit of
the positive commandment to check for kashrut, it appears that this
Mitzvah does not only include checking animals, birds and fish for
signs, but looking for the kashrut symbol on packaged products or the
kashrut certificate in restaurants.
