The Camel, The Hare, And The Hyrax IV
It seems this book has made an impression. One prominent outreach group has, after reading this book, decided to stop using the "proof" for the divine origin of the Torah that the Torah lists every animal with only one kosher sign. Here is a letter from the group:
Dear R' Nosson,
I wanted to let you know that after reading your book, I've informed the Arachim staff not to use the argument of the camel, hare & hyrax in our seminars or lectures. I think that you've done a very important work, and we should be very careful with the facts that we offer.
After all, EMET (the Ultimate Truth) is the Divine signature (or better: fingerprint) of G-D!
