Question by Clarkey: Can the Jewish consume soya milk with along with meat?
I am doing a Jewish meal, and I’m wondering if I can use soya milk in the dessert, because milk cannot be consumed after a three hour period. One of the laws is that you cannot consume meat and have milk from the mother. Also, could you eat beef and have goats milk? Thanks in advance!
Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!
if it’s non-dairy, it’s okay, but serve it in the original container

Only Orthodox Jews follow any of those rules (except during Passover) and there are very few of them. So serve what you want to serve. I refer you to this site

I’m no Rabbi – but I believe that the Kosher laws specify “dairy”, not “milk”. I’d put Soya milk in the same category with Coconut Milk, which is a plant product.
As far as I know, there is no dairy at all in soy milk, but if there were (as there is some whey in margarine to give it that buttery taste) it would make it a dairy product for the purpose of following Kosher laws.
Goat’s milk is dairy – even though the spiritual law is not to “boil a kid in its mother’s milk” the actual law does not make a distinction – it’s ALL meat and ALL dairy.

Depends upon how observant they are. First thing to do is to check the container–it should have a symbol like “K” or “U” to indicate that it’s kosher. If it is, then next to it might be either the word “dairy” or “pareve”. If it’s pareve, then you can serve it with a meat meal. If it’s dairy, and if the people are traditionally-observant, then don’t serve it.

Soy milk and any other dairy substitute can be used with meat so long as the substitute is labeled ‘kosher pareve’.
To correct your point about timing. Dairy in any form cannot be consumed within 6 hours of eating meat.
This being said, is this meal supposed to be a kosher meal? If it is, are you preparing it in a kosher kitchen? Is there someone supervising you to make sure that all ingredients are certified kosher and that you are following all the rules? Is someone Jewish turning on any stoves and ovens for you?
If not, you can’t claim that the meal in question is kosher. I’m not sure what you mean by a “Jewish meal”.
