Hullin 113: The Soul and the Life Force

August 21, 2026 | ח׳ באלול תשפ״ו

Beginning with a mnemonic to help remember the cases that are exceptions — for example, the way salting (and rinsing, depending on the order and location) renders some meat kosher. Also, what happens if the blood from one piece of meat can be absorbed elsewhere? And – a new mishnah! What if you have cheese and fowl on the table? Does that violate the meat/milk-on-the-same-table problem? It would seem not, and that it’s only prohibited at the rabbinic level. And a second new mishnah – on the 3 statements about not cooking a kid in its mother’s milk – and what we learn from them. Plus, the implications with regard to non-domesticated animals and also birds/fowl. And the fact that this statement is repeated in the Torah 3x.
