Don’t be Fooled
Parasha
Re’eh continues the reiteration of laws. Rabbinic interpretation has an
interesting view on the focus of dietary laws. At the time of the rabbis’
writing, they compared the pig to the Romans. That is, pigs aren’t kosher
because they have hooves, but don’t chew their cud. By having hooves they were
seen as being deceptive. This can show us to be careful who we associate with
and get close to. Always make sure you read the whole package and don’t just
get “Kosher-style.”
