Not to Eat from a Treifah (Mitzvah 73)
ואנשי קדש תהיון לי ובשר בשדה טרפה לא תאכלו לכלב תשליכון אתו" - שמות כב:ל"
What is the definition of טריפה (literally "torn")? What makes an animal a treifah?
Why is this commandment which a) is not about civil law and b) not bein Adam lechavero in Parshat Mishpatim?
Why does the Torah prohibit a treifah?
Do we keep the commandments because they are good or because God said so?
