Hilchos Shchita - From the farm to your plate!
As part of our Halacha Seder and with Yom Kippur around the corner,the Bochurim had the opportunity to learn the Basics of Hilchos Shchita, Hadocho, Melicha and more with LIVE CHICKENS.
Our Shochet, Rabbi Avrohom Granat, of Coral Springs, took us through the Shchita process from beginning until end. We learned many Halachos and it was a phenomenal experience. The pictures will speak for themselves.

- שהייה Shehiyah (delay or pausing) - A pause of hesitation during the incision of even a moment makes the animal's flesh unkosher. The knife must move in an uninterrupted sweep.
- דרסה Derasah (pressing) - The knife must be drawn across the throat by forward/backward movements, not by hacking or pressing. Any undue pressure renders the animal unkosher.
The above Dinim explain why the "Chalaf" shouldn't be too large and heavy and must always be checked for smoothness. Only the Shochet knows how he Shechted, that's why they must be proper Yirei Shomayim.
