Christians never slaughtered this way the cattle or the chickens or anything. Christians rejected Bible Law immediately. Jews are the only ones that kept the Law.

Thank you for giving the very important background information and teaching of this act. One can clearly see the dignity that stands behind the shechita. A very helpful insight. Thanks!

I have to wonder, if this is the process by which kosher meat is slaughtered how is so much of it made, it seems like such a time consuming process.

Adds a whole new dimension to our eating meat- something we take for granted. (Also explains why Kosher meat is so expensive!)

This video is amazing. I never knew the ritual behind Kosher slaughter.

It's all about what you value. In this case, it's balancing the desire for eating meat with the value of life. While I'm sure that most of us would not want to have to slaughter our own food, it's good to know that those who are doing it (at least for kosher meat) appreciate the gravity of what they are doing. Unfortunately, many people's callings do require violence for the greater good - soldiers, police officers, sometimes even doctors (i.e., treatments that may cause pain in the short term, but are best for the patient). As a society, we need to know where we draw the line to ethically balance those costs and benefits.

The specifics of this case notwithstanding, leadership often involves doing things that are difficult and uncomfortable. By the looks on their faces, this is true of these students as well. I am not sure they had this in mind when they signed up to become religious leaders.

That would be difficult to do.
