CUSTOMS — RITUALISTIC SLAUGHTERING      
"Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat." [Deuteronomy (Devarim) 12. 23 Tanakh, Torah] 

Orthodox Jews are very careful in their method of killing animals for food.  The trachea and esophagus are severed by means of a sharp knife, entirely devoid of notches, so that the blood may flow easily out of the body through the slit made. 

Slaughtering , according to the Jewish method, causes instantaneous unconsciousness, and permits the greatest effusion of blood.  The knife must be of a described size for each kind of animal, and of the maximum keenness, to prevent the slightest unnecessary suffering.  It provides for as complete a draining as possible.  In addition to this draining, the meat is soaked in water for half an hour, kept in salt for a full hour, and then thoroughly rinsed.  Some meat is broiled, however, without this special treatment.  Eggs, which have blood spots, are forbidden by Jewish law.

A qualified Shochet (butcher) carefully examines the animal, which after being declared "fit for food" or "kosher" is slaughtered.  If he finds the animal sound, he seals the parts with the mark "kosher" in contradistinction to "terefah" meaning "unfit" and originally signifying something torn by a wild animal.  "You shall not eat meat torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs." [Exodus (Shemot) 22. 31 Tanakh, Torah; Genesis/Bereshith 31. 39; Leviticus/Vayikra 7. 24; 22. 8]

The blood of YESHUA, the SPOTLESS, SINLESS SACRIFICE , was drained from HIM for the life of the world; HE was torn  by "wild beasts" or "strong bulls of Bashan" according to the prophecy— "Many bulls have surrounded ME; strong bulls of Bashan have encircled ME." [Psalms/Tehillym 22. 12]  

YESHUA ha'MASHIACH was made terefah — unfit — therefore the Jewish people, as a nation, did not partake of HIM.  In prophecy they declared:  "...when we saw HIM, there is no beauty that we should desire HIM. HE is despised and rejected by men, a MAN of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from HIM; HE was despised, and we did not esteem HIM." [Isaiah/Yeshayah 53. 2 - 3]  

But, the LORD JESUS was cursed for the sake of the sinner!  HE was made "unfit" that the sinner might be accepted in HIM.  YESHUA, the  GLORIOUS ANOINTED ONE , was made sin that all believing on HIM might be made righteous (kosher)!   This was to fulfill the PRECIOUS WORD OF GOD concerning the MESSIAH OF ISRAEL WHO is the SAVIOR of the world!

Thank YOU, my LIVING HOPE and taking my penalty for sin upon YOURSELF and dying in my place!  Then rising victoriously over the grave paying in-full for transgressions that was my due.


Sha’alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel!
Welcome Sabbath — Queen of the week! Be pleased, O LORD our GOD, to revive and strengthen us by YOUR commandments, and especially by the commandment of the Seventh Day, this Sabbath Kodesh (Holy Sabbath) before YOU, that we may rest and repose thereon in love in accordance with the precept of YOUR will.  In YOUR favor, O LORD our GOD, grant us such tranquility that there be no trouble, grief or lamenting on the day of our rest. Thank YOU for being our LORD of salvation and of comfort. Amen
May yours be a Yom She’kulo Shabbat  — a day which is all Sabbath!


Praying for the peace of Jerusalem, is praying for the return of our Messiah and Lord and for the Kingdom of God He is bringing when He comes.  Then God's Will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven and the world will experience true godly universal peace.
