Parashat Ree (you shall see)
This section reviews the laws
of kashrut.
We learn once again about the
animals that are forbidden and those we can eat.
For animals that walk on four
legs, we have two simultaneous conditions in order to be kosher. Same thing
happens with fish.
But with birds, there are no
special rules but rather a list of those that are permitted and those that are
not. Why?
Birds are the only animals
that can see the rest of the creatures from above.
Maybe the Torah is telling us
that those who look at the rest from above will be, at some point, singled out.
In memory of my beloved mother and teacher Miriam Rachel bat Israel Itzchak Z"L
