Jesus ate with "sinners", i.e., non-religious Jews and the uncircumcised, i.e., Gentiles. So it would make sense that Jesus broke Kosher laws, similar to the allegations against Peter in Acts 11:3; Gal 2.12.
There was a once a year fasting Torah mandate. The Apostles likely broke this commandment as well, if we read Jesus' response to the charge in Mar 2.19: "They can’t fast while the groom is with them." The ministry of Jesus lasted for years.
In Num. 5 God commands the removal from their midst people with all kinds of illnesses "so that they will not defile their camps." Similarly, in Num 9.10 God commands anyone who has been in contact with the dead not to take the Passover. Jesus, as we know, touched both the sick and the dead yet, did not have to follow Torah commands to purify himself in the Temple. Instead, he purified those he touched!
I recently did a study trying to find where in the Torah God authorized breaking the Sabbath for "good" humanitarian reasons. The only evidence we find is one clear and very scary story of what happened if ANY work was done on the Sabbath in Num 15:32-36.
Jesus, as the messenger and practitioner of New Covenant Law (Heb 9.15; 12.24), taught and lived by his own Law, i. e, the Law of Messiah (Gal 6.2; 1Cor 9:21).
Hence, Paul was right to say "imitate me as I imitate Messiah" (1Cor 11.1). And yes, Jesus was "born under the Law" but so was Paul, "circumcised the 8th day, a Hebrew of Hebrews" (Phil 3). But neither Paul nor Jesus lived under Torah their whole life (1Cor 9.20).
