Chullin 68 – Good Morning Raboisai בן פקועה – Core Rule Gemara: If a pregnant animal is shechted: The fetus is: • מותר without its own שחיטה יסוד שחיטת האם works on: • The fetus Limb Comes Out Case: • Fetus sticks limb out דין That limb: • Did NOT have שחיטה Even if returned: • Remains אסור Reason פסוק : • “ ובשר בשדה טרפה ” יסוד Once meat leaves its boundary: • Becomes טרפה Cannot be reversed Head vs Limb If limb comes out: • Only limb affected If head comes out : • Considered full birth דין Whole fetus now requires: • Its own שחיטה Cut Limb Inside If limb cut inside womb: דין מותר after שחיטה חילוק Limb of fetus: • Like part of fetus → מותר Limb of mother: • אבר מן החי → אסור אבר מן החי Any limb removed from living animal: דין אסור permanently שחיטה later: • Does NOT permit Boundary Case Limb partially outside ספק Is it inside or outside? חידוש If returned fully inside: • מותר Birth Definition Head emerging = birth יסוד Cannot “undo” birth Returning inside: • No effect No חידוש ? Question: • Head birth already known Answer Needed for: • Animal case (not human) Key Principle Going out = irreversible Like טרפה : • Cannot become permitted again מחלוקת – Rav vs Ulla Rav & Shmuel : • Limb that went out → אסור Ulla : • If returned → מותר מסקנה Halacha follows: • Rav & Shmuel Once out → always אסור Proof from פסוק Compared to טרפה יסוד Just like טרפה : • No reversal Same here Final יסוד • שחיטת האם permits fetus • יציאה (leaving boundary) creates איסור • Cannot undo status once created • Head = full birth • Limb ≠ full birth • אבר מן החי remains אסור • Halacha follows strict view Key Takeaways (English) • A fetus inside a shechted animal is permitted without its own shechita • If a limb exits the womb, that limb becomes forbidden permanently • If the head exits, the entire fetus is considered born and needs its own shechita • Once something leaves its halachic boundary, it cannot become permitted again • A limb cut from a living animal is always forbidden as ever min hachai • There is a debate, but halacha follows that once something exits, it remains forbidden • The concept of “irreversible status” is a key principle in this sugya • The daf establishes clear rules for boundaries, birth, and shechita Catch up, review, download previous Dafim & more: https://www.dafchazarah.co.uk Now available as an app (Apple, Google & Amazon): https://dafchazarah.co.uk/download Sponsor a day: https://dafchazarah.co.uk/sponsor To receive the daf summary daily join our group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/L4AiVVxQwYqLRh4RtMAlGE Daf Chazarah Bot (Request any PDF – past or current): Save the number +44 7427 857802 and message to get instant access Direct link: https://dafchazarah.co.uk/whatsapp לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי רות בת הרב מנחם מנדל לע״נ הרבנית הצדקנית ממעזיבוז׳ מרת רחל בת מתתיהו ע״ה
