Parshas Shmini (5765)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
How significant today is the Chazal (Medrash Rabba 13:5) of how the ‘chazir’ who doesn’t chew his cud but displays his split hooves, as if cunningly and falsely declaring his purity and holiness. So much of the ideas and ideals of our modern day culture and society which are accepted, condoned and even praised is truthfully wicked. No, the old hog hasn’t given up—beware!
After the refreshing and rejuvenating uplift of the Torah we just received on Purim, rejoice with its true beauty!
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
