Chullin 77 – Good Morning Raboisai Broken Bone – Core דין Gemara: If a bone breaks: • Depends on רוב בשר (majority of flesh) דין If רוב flesh remains: • Animal is kosher If not: • Animal is טריפה Above vs Below Joint Above the joint: • If no רוב flesh → whole animal טריפה Below the joint: • Limb forbidden • Animal remains kosher מחלוקת רב ושמואל Rav : • Distinguishes above vs below Shmuel : • Same rule both cases סוף מסקנה Ultimately: • Above joint → more severe ניפול (Retroactive Detachment) Concept: • Limb treated as if already detached Result Can become like: • אבר מן החי Shechita Effect Question: • Does שחיטה fix it? יסוד שחיטה can remove טומאה But status depends on limb How Much Flesh is Needed? Must have: • Majority covering Two ways: • Around the bone (circumference) • Thickness (depth) מסקנה Need BOTH: • Majority coverage + thickness Skin vs Flesh Skin alone: • Can sometimes count But: • Not always enough Tendons ( גידים ) Question: • Can tendons replace flesh? מסקנה No Because: • Not considered edible like flesh Practical Cases Pieces of flesh: • Can they combine? → ספק Thin or decaying flesh: • May not count Flesh not attached: • Problematic Special Case Circular missing flesh: • May not heal Solution: • Test regrowth Placenta ( שיליא ) Normally: • Not considered food If person intends to eat: • Becomes food Partial יציאה If placenta partially exits: • אסור Concern: • Fetus inside Final יסוד • Broken bone depends on majority flesh • Above joint more severe than below • Must measure coverage and thickness • Skin may help, tendons do not • Not all flesh counts (must be healthy and attached) • Some cases remain unresolved • Intent can define food status Key Takeaways (English) • A broken bone only makes the animal treif if most flesh is missing • Above the joint is stricter than below • Both thickness and coverage of flesh are required • Skin may sometimes count, but tendons do not • Damaged or detached flesh may not qualify • Some cases are uncertain and need further evaluation • A placenta is not food unless intended to be eaten • The daf focuses on how physical condition defines halacha 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 לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי רות בת הרב מנחם מנדל
