About this episode

This episode discusses the laws of shechita, focusing on intent, valid slaughtering instruments, and the laws of hagramah.

We will discuss three main areas within the laws of shechita: the role of intent (focusing on whether a minor’s actions and kavanah have Torah or Rabbinic validity, and whether conscious intent is required for kodshim), the requirements for a valid slaughtering instrument (the knife must be detached, with debate over wheels and re-attached knives, alongside a historical discussion of whether basar nechirah was ever permitted in the desert), and the laws of hagramah (cutting in the wrong location on the neck).
