![Cave dwelling Jews, also cave Jews or troglodyte Jews (from the French phrase Juifs troglodytes), were Jewish communities that dwelled in man-made caves in the
mountains. The best known communities of this type existed in the Gharyan Plateau ("Jebel Gharyan") area of the Nafusa Mountains in Libya, and are commonly referred to as Gharyan Jews. These communities no longer exist today."][2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hdqhc6zups7sjqof6db4jxp2/bafkreiajbs4uu4bc7scaxydocftujw46kdmkgf4ykejqeitbm3tnlujm7i)

The laws of the sciatic nerve apply to ritually pure animals but do not apply to ritually impure animals. Rabbi Yehuda says, even to impure animals, because the sciatic nerve was forbidden even before the giving of the Torah and thus predated the laws of purity and impurity. They said to Rabbi Yehuda, it does not say, "Therefore the Children of Jacob
-- Reuven and Simon etc. -- do not eat the sciatic nerve," but rather, "the Children of Israel [do not eat the sciatic nerve]" (Gen. 32:33).
Those are the ones who stood before Mount Sinai. Rather, why is it written there (i.e., in Genesis, before the Torah was given)? To make it known why it is forbidden. (The laws forbidding eating the limb of a live animal apply to impure animals as well as pure animals because it was forbidden to both the Sons of Noah (i.e., Gentiles, who are not liable in laws of purity and impurity) as well as to the Children of Israel. And one who eats the sciatic nerve may be held liable both on account of it being a limb from a live animal and on account of it being from an impure animal in the event that it was indeed taken from a live and/or impure animal, the words of Rabbi Yehuda. And Rabbi Eliezer and the

of Rabbi Yehuda. And Rabbi Eliezer and the Sages say, one cannot be held liable except on account of it being a limb from a live animal, as it is said (Deut. 12:23), "You shall not eat the life with the flesh," and thus it is forbidden to eat the sciatic nerve of a live animal. On account of "You shall not eat the life with the flesh" they render him liable. This comes to exclude an impure animal, as to which all of it and not just the sciatic nerve is prohibited.
One who eats the limb of a live animal transgresses a negative commandment.
[Relatedly, with respect to one who eats the fats (as opposed to the flesh) of a live animal, he is liable for transgressing two negative commandments, (1) on account of its forbidden fats and (2) on account of it [being from a live animal. With respect to] the blood of a live animal, he is liable for transgressing two negative commandments,
(1) on account of the prohibition against eating] blood (Deut. 12:23), and (2) on account of it being from a live animal. The prohibition against eating a "limb of a live animal" may render one liable on account of the animal being carrion. One who eats the
