Kindness


From a yeshiva buddy and a great friend 

Why is there a commandment to not eat a stork (In Hebrew החסידה like the word חסד kindness) in a portion that talks about not eating wild animals specifically? Something named after kindness surely is not wild, right? 

Rashi answers it is because they only do kindness to their own kind. Lesson for today, be kind to all. 

Shabbat Shalom
