Jewish dietary regulations emanate from the Bible, and include not only which animals may be eaten, but also the manner in which they must be slaughtered. Before becoming certified to practice, a ritual slaughterer, known as a shoḥet, must master the various complexities of these laws. This book focuses on the various problems that can render fowl non-kosher. This image shows the anatomy of a chicken (neck at the bottom).
