Summary
On today’s pages, Chullin 15 and 16, the rabbis examine the virtues and dangers of different cutting tools, from reeds and flint to hand sickles and knives. What emerges is not merely a technical conversation about slaughter but a philosophy of preparation rooted in patience, skill, and intentionality. The daf suggests that even everyday acts like cooking and carving can become elevated when approached with care and the proper tools. How much of excellence comes down to learning how to use the right instrument the right way? Listen and find out.
