What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] all three parts of the knife over both sides and the top then you take the nail and you pass it back and forth over all three parts of the knife okay so if there was even the slightest Nick it would be detectable by the finger and the slightest Nick would render the knife possible you sh with a knife like that so the knife is so sharp that the cut is not felt and you could surgeons will testify that during emergency surgery they're using very sharp instruments they can accidentally cut themselves they will not know until they see the blood on their hands it's such a sharp cut then the the has to be in one motion right okay it is severing the kateed artery which means the blood uh pressure immediately drops and renders the animal unconscious in less than 2 seconds okay so it is not enough time for the animal's nervous system to even react to the cut okay just these arguments alone would be enough to silence any criticism against the um any accusations but you'll see something that's absolutely astounding and that is if you look at your picture this tested in 1938 yeah they wanted to forid the yeah in Poland not the nais okay so they took an old 92 years old way to D that first with electric and then kill them so the the H minutes less yeah listen to this this now this is astounding here's the thing let's take a look at uh the pig for a moment right if your wife asked what did you learn today you said we we study the pig so take a look at the pig because you will ask me when you sha when you Sha animal you're only allowed to sever the cored artery
