After all, if you can eat pig, camel, rabbit, etc. and the Jews can rarely eat meat because of species and shehitah reasons that would have been a tremendous barrier between us. | |

| May 12, 2010 at 17:22 | comment | added | Shalom | Well said. Big difference between purpose and symbolism. Some of these are things we say today to describe the benefits of kosher today, which may have been different 1000 years ago. E.g. today kosher food keeps us strongly apart from non-Jews, but if you lived in a world where meat was a rarity, this was less of an effect. | |
