Summary
On today’s page, Chullin 42, the rabbis begin a lengthy exploration of one of Judaism’s most misunderstood categories: the treifah. Most of us use the word to describe any non-kosher food, from bacon to cheeseburgers, but the Talmud has something much more specific in mind. Through a detailed discussion of wounds, injuries, and mortal conditions, the daf reveals that a treifah is not merely forbidden food, but a kosher animal suffering from a fatal defect. Have we been using the wrong word all along? Listen and find out.
