Loving this diagram!

This is a very useful diagram - thank you

can one cut more than once?

What if you cut the bone?

thank you for answering

naveila נבילה: the corpse of an animal not slaughtered properly, forbidden by kosher laws

halakhah l'moshe mi'sinai הלכה למשה מסיני : rabbinic code for "it's been this way for as long as we know"

maybe it’s about the lies of their trachea and osaphaegus and also the skins..

size

what does approximate mean?

To avoid covering

so as not to cover the knife

to avoid tearing

so it can be one stroke

so you don’t tear?

its not spiky at the end

it's squared

straight end

wahh

is there anything about cleanliness of knife/could you use it after shaving?

but how do we know for sure that the knife doesn’t get flows when shochetim do hundreds shechita in few hours? what if the knife touch the neck bone???

@yitzchak: they are supposed to check it regularly throughout their work

were the ones straightened with the less sharp knife still allowed to count as kosher?

straightened = slaughtered

that what I want to talk about, because in the industry they work intenserely, and practice shechita every 12 15 18 seconds!?

what is the accountability process for making sure the slaughters are kosher- for example when you see a cow reacting to someone else’s shecht?

I have a question about the experience of the animal based on a shchita I was part of

Do Shechita texts have anything to say about the quality of life of the animal lived before it’s killed - or only when it’s killed? This is so interesting thank you!

what about the chicken industry, its every 12 15 18 sec, what if the knife touch the neck bone, how often the y check the knife, is there someone else checking the knife even for chicken?

are there any resources for very rural people who want to shecht properly

How are you supposed to dispose of an animal that is NOT slaughtered properly?

how soon does the animal die after the shecht?

@George: they are sold to non-Jews

I learned that stunning isn’t kosher

@Yitzchak: That is correct. It makes an animal neveilah by definition

or treifa, sorry

couldn’t automated slaughter be better than human-powered slaughter done cruelly?

(I don’t mean for kashrut)

^

isn't there whole neck being cut open? how can it not be painful?

*their

what affects how long it will be conscious? ie what is meant by well run vs badly run

also what about goats?

thanks for bringing complexity and honesty to this I appreciate it

why does israel insist on inversion?

Is there room in shcita for you for spiritually connected moments? Does that feeling important? imagining that is very difficult in a factory setting

how convinced are you of the humane treatment and slaughter of kosher plants in South America?

how does the stroke work? I had always imagined it as a side-to-side swipe but at the shchita I attended it was more a pull back into the neck

how does one practice the cut while learning?

Unfortunately we're out of time for questions.

is a well run plant going to be better than a very small on-farm shchita? or does it depend on the farm?

thank you so much

thanks

Thank you!
