The Hare and the Heartset
Take a Dive with Dr J
The Hop Between the Hare and the Horizon
In the ancient world, eating a hare wasn’t casual—it was calculated. And that’s what makes this verse so rich. It’s not just about what’s forbidden. It’s about what we’re willing to pursue, prepare, and justify.
> “And the hare, because he chews the cud but does not divide the hoof, he is unclean to you.” — Leviticus 11:6
The hare chews the cud but doesn’t split the hoof. It mimics the motions but misses the mark. And in that moment—between the chew and the stride—we find ourselves.
Are we ruminating on truth but walking without distinction? Are we hopping toward holiness or just hovering near the edge?
