Discussion Not definitive Depends on: • Evidence after birth בכור Case Firstborn animal born with blemish דין Can be eaten immediately Indicates: • No concern for ריסוק אברים Proof Cannot say: • It was C - section Because: • Then not considered בכור Conclusion If stands → no concern Final יסוד • רוב is a valid measure even without tefach • Depth and layers determine טריפה • Blood indicates timing of injury • Falls depend on control vs accident • Movement after fall determines status • Physical evidence is key in psak Key Takeaways (English) • A hole in the inner stomach makes the animal treifa even if small • Majority damage is enough even without reaching a full measurement • A needle piercing both layers is treifa, and blood shows it happened before shechita • Scabs indicate older injuries and affect sale validity • Animals that fall are only a concern if the fall was uncontrolled • Standing or walking after a fall reduces concern • Signs like dragging legs may indicate spinal issues but are not always conclusive • The halacha depends heavily on physical evidence and how the damage occurred 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
