Suddenly one of the Chassidim by the name of Shmuel Munkis, known for his genius and his lively sense of humor, stood from his place, grabbed the platter with the liver on it, lifted it from the table and unexplainably began running around the table holding it high over his head! (Parenthetically, a Moslem man once wrote me an email victoriously declaring that he asked expert veterinarians and even professors and they all told him beyond any doubt that the rabbit and the hare definitely do NOT chew their cuds! This is not easy - it demands a lot of very positive thinking and for this purpose they often make informal get-togethers called "Farbrengens" where they sing, say inspiring stories and words of Torah, and say "L'chaim" (drink vodka). Chewing the cud in our personal lives means not immediately swallowing every idea and accepting every impulse that comes to us, but rather chewing and re-chewing it; being completely sure it is according to the Torah. Firstly; while the other nations are not restricted to what they eat (save the fact that it cannot be from a living animal) we are very much so, for instance the animals must chew their cuds and have split hooves. It informs us that The Hare the Rabbit and the Camel are the only animals in the world that chew their cuds and don't have split feet, and the Pig is the only one that has split feet and doesn't chew its cud. Maybe if G-d forbade pigs because they wallow in filth or rabbits because they live in holes it would make a bit of sense, but what is so bad about not having split hooves or not chewing the cud? It was well after midnight, and the Chassidim had been sitting together in the "Farbrengen" for most of the night, when suddenly they realized they were out of "farbisen". Five years ago I was in private audience (Yechidut) with the Rebbe and he told me that anything that really aroused my desire I should avoid as though it was forbidden. ONLY Moshiach will, as Maimonides says in the end of his masterpiece, fill the world with the knowledge of G-d so there will be no war, strife, hunger or hardship.
