Chullin 31 and 32 - Slaughter, Interrupted
from Take One Daf Yomi Hosted by Tablet Magazine
On today’s pages, Chullin 31 and 32, the rabbis examine what happens when ritual slaughter is interrupted midway through the act. The Mishna says that a pause is only disqualifying if it lasts as long as another act of slaughter, but the Gemara immediately asks what that measurement actually means. The daf becomes a display of rabbinic reasoning at its finest, testing every possible definition until the law can be stated with care and precision. How exact must our thinking be when even a pause can change everything? Listen and find out.
