this week is parous Noah Noah succeeded
in saving all of the mammals and the
birds of the world from the flood the
Torah tells us that we can identify
kosher mammals based on whether or not
they chew their cud which is something
that you have to really watch the animal
but also by looking at the Animal by
looking at its feet you can tell if the
animal is kosher kosher mammals have
split hoves here we have the hoof of a
actually a giraffe but you could see
it's a more rounded hoof compared to the
hoof of a deer which is a more pointed
but both these hooves are split as
opposed to the hoof of a zebra where you
could see the hoof is not split and
another kind of foot which is not a hoof
at all is a claw which of course is not
a split hoof the other way that kazal
have that we can identify a kosher
mammal is based on its horns only kosher
mammals have horns there are two kinds
of horns that are recognized as being on
kosher mammals the first is a horn which
is hollow such as this the Horn of a
spring buck and this is the Horn of a
prorn both of them are Hollow there are
other kinds of hollow horns but they
look either like one of these and the
other kind of horn which would be on a
kosher animal is this horn which is the
Horn of an elk or this which is the Horn
of a moose these horns tend to fall off
they are not on top of the skull meaning
they're not covering the skull they just
rest on the skull and fall off at the
end of the season
