The story of the Leper described in our Torah portion (Leviticus 14:1-3) reveals a fundamental principle regarding the proper social order. Leprosy appears as a result of the sin of slander - a clearly antisocial behavior that harms community life. The Biblical punishment meted out to the leper is discoloration of the skin that shows impurity, and in addition, to go "outside the camp" and remain in complete isolation from human society for a while until he repent and purify himself again. This isolation is a direct result of his actions: whoever chooses to separate a person from his friend through evil speech finds himself physically separated from the community.
Maimonides emphasizes in his writings that man is a social being by nature, who always needs interaction with others. From this we learn the crucial importance of the community as a supporting…

I have discovered that some slaughtering houses in the US begin to cut the animals too quickly after killing them, when they are not dead (their heart is still beating even if they are not conscious). That is why I want to buy only kosher certified meat to be sure I am not eating meat taken from a living animal.
It is so horrifying, at least in the US. I don't know about the other countries.

The number 7 symbolizes the frame of nature and the world. This is the Divine light that clothes itself within the world. The number 8 symbolizes the infinite light which is beyond nature. It is precisely in the parasha that deals with the high degree of “Shemini,” that the Torah details the laws of food. For Noahides, the central commandment in this context is the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal.
The prohibition of a limb from a living animal means that a Noahide is forbidden to eat a part that is torn off from an animal while it is alive. The basic condition for meat to…
Thank you Rabbi. Since becoming a Noahide I eat so much more fish, especially when I eat out. I have to drive out of town to obtain Kosher meat and it is usually chicken or turkey at Trader Joe’s. It would be so nice to have Kosher restaurants near me. I can’t wait to visit Israel again for not only the spiritual highlights but also for the Kosher food. I am so thankful to be on this journey and I so appreciate all your hardwork in helping us Noahides learn the beautiful parashas! We are blessed to have you here for us!

May I ask what region you are from and what specific companies are being lackadaisical about ensuring the animals are actually dead? I can’t afford kosher. The only option I have is going vegetarian again. :(
