1. In this week’s Torah portion the Torah says1 “When Hashem, your G-d, will broaden your boundaries as He spoke to you, and you say “I would eat meat”, for it is the desire of your soul to eat meat, as all the desire of your soul you may eat meat”.
Rashi (an acronym for Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki) brings two explanations for this verse:
Rabbi Yishmael explains2 that this verse is teaching us that before the Yidin (the Jewish people) entered Eretz Yisroel (the Land of Israel) they were not allowed to eat meat out of desire, they were only allowed to eat meat from the Sacrifices which they brought, however now, once Hashem brought them into Eretz Yisroel and broadened their boundaries, they were allowed to eat meat out of desire.
