Comment on Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't

I’m not sure Jesus said anything about whether his followers need to keep kosher or observe the Torah. “I have come not to replace the Law, but to fulfill it” or something, right? I don’t think he weighed in on circumcision or pork. wasn’t that largely the early Christians deciding after his death?

Jesus said

Matthew 15:11

it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.

The circumcision thing did come about at the Council of Jerusalem 20 years later, but Jesus instituted baptism which replaced it, and it follows the spirit of what Jesus taught.
