Lhe Lurkey was already eaLen by many.
And when asked, many 8abbls agreed LhaL Lurkey was lndeed kosher.
G|raffe
! MlsconcepLlon: AlLhough Lhe glraffe ls a kosher anlmal, lL ls noL slaughLered
because lL ls noL known where on Lhe neck Lo perform Lhe shechlLah (rlLual
slaughLer).
! lacL: 1he makom shechlLah (reglon of Lhe neck ln whlch rlLual slaughLer ls valld)
on a glraffe ls preclsely deflned by halachah, [usL as lL ls for all anlmals, and
Lhe only lmpedlmenLs Lo shechLlng glraffe are cosL and pracLlcal conslderaLlons.
(1hey are among Lhe mosL dlfflculL anlmals Lo resLraln.)

vlslL Lo your local zoo wlll reveal Lhls sLrlped glanL sLandlng on spllL hooves
and chewlng lLs cud. 1here ls also an hlsLorlcal record of Lhe glraffe belng

ueuLeronomy (14:3), ls ldenLlfled as Lhe glraffe by 8av Saadla Caon, 8abbenu ?ona,
8adak, Lhe SepLuaglnL, and many oLhers.

LradlLlon, a law glven Lo Moses aL Slnal. 1hls would lndlcaLe LhaL Lhe enLlre neck
ls valld for shechlLah. ln mosL anlmals, one does noL Lhlnk abouL how Lo deflne
Lhe neck, because lL ls a relaLlvely small area. ln Lhe case of Lhe glraffe, one
mlghL conLemplaLe wheLher Lhe whole neck really ls valld and wonder abouL Lhe
exacL locaLlon of Lhe accepLable zone. 8uL Lhere ls no need Lo equlvocaLe, Lhe
speclflc anaLomlc boundarles (clLed ln Chullln 43a, Shulchan Aruch, ?oreh ueah
20:1-2) for Lhe rlLual slaughLer of all anlmals apply Lo Lhe glraffe as well. lor
a plgeon, Lhe valld reglon ls a few lnches long, for a cow, over 12 lnches, and
for a glraffe, close Lo slx feeL. A kashruL experL once qulpped LhaL "anyone who

Sanhedr|n's ower: Devar|m 17:11
! lollow Lhe 1orah forever, and do noL sLray from lL no maLLer whaL- Lo 1asur"
! MachlokeL based on Lhese words:
kambam- Sefer nam|tzvot kamban
ln hls lnLro Lo Sefer PamlLzvoL, called Lhe
Shorashlm, Lhe 8ambam says LhaL Lhe source
for Lhe MlLzvah of followlng Lhe Chachamlm ls
nC1 from Lhe words Lo 1asur" because Lhen
you can say LhaL An? MlLzvah ue8abanan ls
really a MlLzvah ueCrallLa.
1he reason we keep MlLzvoL ue8abanan lS
because of Lo 1asur"! Lo 1asur" glves Lhe
Chachamlm Lhe power 1C creaLe MlLzvoL
ue8abanan! 1haL ls why, when we llghL
Chanukah candles, we can say .asher
kldlshanu beMl1ZvC1Av vL1ZlvAnu...," Lven
Lhough Chanukah's PalachoL are ue8abanan.
l don't know if we need to know Zaken Mamre/Melech for the final- he made the review
sheet before we learned them. l would study them just in case, or someone can e-mail
him and ask.
2aken Mamre: Devar|m 17: 8-13
! When Sanhedrln hears a case, Lhe voLe goes Lhe way Lhe ma[orlLy of Lhe 70/71 voLes.
