About this episode

The episode discusses ritual slaughter and related kashrut principles with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz.

We will discuss issues of ritual slaughter, including the reliability of people performing shechita, invalid methods of slaughter, and the status of knives used for shechita and prohibited foods. The Gemara also discusses the principles of relying on majority ( rov ) and presumptive status ( chazakah ) in kashrut, especially regarding slaughter and determining whether an animal is kosher.
