Quote 1-3.

[Eng]

Book of Education. Mitzvah 3.1,3-4

1. Not to eat the sciatic nerve: [Parshat] Vayishlach has one negative commandment, and it is the prohibition of [eating] the sciatic nerve; as it is stated (Genesis 32:33), "Therefore the Children of Israel shall not eat the sciatic nerve." And this [phrase] "they shall not eat" is not to be taken as part of the story, to mean that because this event occurred to [our] forefather, [we, his] descendants refrain from eating that nerve. Rather, it is a warning (prohibition) of God that they shall not eat it.

3. The laws of this commandment - which sinew is prohibited; the clearing out, that we are obligated to clear out [its area] after it; with regards to which beast it applies; who is trustworthy regarding its removal; and the rest of its details - are explained in the seventh chapter of Chullin (see Tur, Yoreh Deah 65.)

4. And [it] is practiced in every place and at all times by males and by females. And one who transgresses it and eats a [whole sciatic nerve], even if it is less than an olive's-worth - or eats a kazayit (the size of a large olive) from a large sciatic nerve - is lashed (see Chullin 96a). (trans. R. Francis Nataf (Sefaria, 2018); original sources: sefaria.org)
