[music] >> A good and healthy Yom Tov boys and girls. We finished eating and we are sitting with Mordechai and all the smart people here. We see that came in for Yom Tov. We are holding Omer Avino. We're talking about every bird, every animal, every human being has two pipes. Very interesting pipes. They're made very similarly. They look like air conditioning pipes. One of them at least. That's the breathing pipe called the trachea. The other one is the esophagus that the The other one is the esophagus that the food goes down. What happens if one of the pipes becomes dislocated? What happens to the animal? The animal basically becomes a treif, becomes dislocated. It'll look something like this. Dislocated. Then he comes with a knife and performs shchita. So what happens if the trachea - it almost looks the same. Look at that. The trachea pops out on the bird. And you did shchita. And you did shchita. So the Gemara says it depends. Omer Avino Omer Lee Robin Barkisi told me by Yechezkel in Eiger Siman that when it happens in a bird it doesn't matter cuz by a bird anyway all you need to do is shecht one siman.

So if you find out that the trachea was was was dislocated before you started
