Shechita
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shechita (Hebrew:שְׁחִיטָה; also transliterated shechitah, shehitah, shehita)
is the ritual slaughter of mammals and birds according to Jewish dietary laws.
Kashrut (also kashruth or kashrus, כַּשְׁרוּת) is the set of Jewish dietary laws.
Food that may be consumed according to halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English,
from the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term kashér (כָּשֵׁר), meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption).
Food that is not in accordance with Jewish law is called treif (Yiddish: טרײף or treyf, derived from Hebrew טְרֵפָה trēfáh).
