Shechitoh Demonstration to be Held in Jerusalem for Daf Yomi
by A. Cohen

To help Daf Yomi learners proceed through maseches Chulin, a lecture and a live shechitoh demonstration will be held this motzei Shabbos in Jerusalem at Cheftzadi Halls (Heichalei Hasimcha) on Yirmiyohu Street, the latest in a series of lectures and live demonstrations organized by Meoros HaDaf HaYomi to illustrate the halochos of treifos covered in the upcoming Daf Yomi sugyos.

The first such demonstration was held at Beis Hamedrash Hamerkazi deChassidei Belz in Bnei Brak, where the shechitoh of a goat and a chicken was accompanied by a thorough explanation of the entire shechitoh and bedikoh process by HaRav Yishai Mordechai Mendel, one of the maggidei shiur at the beis medrash who has been active in areas of meat kashrus for years. The display was projected on a large screen from start to finish to allow the audience to view the organs clearly.

Over 1,000 Daf Yomi learners--avreichim, maggidei shiur and baalei batim--participated in a similar event held at the Merkaz Hapayis community center in Bnei Brak's Ramat Elchonon neighborhood, which was filled to capacity with Daf HaYomi participants and maggidei shiur from the entire Dan Region. HaRav Amitai Ben David, author of Sichas Chulin, led a presentation on treifos found in both animals and birds. Following an introductory explanation, a sheep was shechted onsite and its organs were shown to the audience to illustrate the explanations given.

Due to the success of the events, Meoros HaDaf HaYomi arranged another presentation, also conducted by HaRav Ben David, in Modi'in Illit's Achuzat Brachfeld on motzei Shabbos Mishpotim. Following the shechitoh of a goat, all of the bedikos were performed along with a practical demonstration of the koshering process.

Participants left the events spiritually charged and equipped with important tools to apply to the upcoming parts of Chulin. Besides the event to be held in Jerusalem on motzei Shabbos, a lecture is also scheduled to take place in Haifa on Tuesday, 8 Adar at the hall of Talmud Torah Tiferes Moshe Seret-Vizhnitz at Rechov Hanegev 41.
