Hullin 46: Frictionless Kashrut

June 15, 2026 | ל׳ בסיון תשפ״ו

The Gemara moves on to the mishnah”s case of an animal that was missing a liver — which is surely a treyfa — but what if an olive’s worth remained? That seems to define the animal as a kosher animal. But less than a “kezayit” amount of the liver seems that it would get that treyfa distinction. Also, 4 rulings – listed with a mnemonic. Including the case of creepy crawlies – and the question of them not bleeding, with implications for Shabbat — all as a parallel to a punctured (or not!) lung. But note throughout here the lack of attack among the sages, despite all the differences of opinion, and with practical implications.

Talking Talmud is their conversation (via podcast) on the daf yomi. They say: “Learning the daf? We have something for you to think about. Not learning the daf? We have something for you to think about! (Along with a taste of the daf…) Join the conversation with us!”
