Ushchat'tem Bazeh

The gap between the sugya and the application of Meseches Chullin can feel vast and overwhelming. This sefer closes that gap. With clarity and depth, detailed photographs, clear diagrams, a step-by-step guide to shechita and a Shochet’s Lexicon, Avrohom Reit brings the halachos to life, guiding the reader from the pages of the Gemara into the reality of contemporary shechita.
Designed for both those learning Gemara or Shulchan Aruch and the aspiring shochet, this sefer presents a wealth of essential knowledge. Complex topics are distilled into digestible bites.
The tekufas hashanah series aims to demystify unfamiliar mitzvos. The reader is educated with the intimate details on the how and why of the mitzva. With a warm, down-to-earth style, Tekufas Hashanah is as engaging as it is enlightening.

“The book is written with great clarity… every law and practice is accorded proper attention. Even complicated details are presented in a way that is understandable even to beginners… Includes how these are practiced in modern times and the traditions of the shochtim. This work contains a wealth of shechita and kashrus information that is not widely known…"

“Rabbi Reit has covered the topic in detail, including a step-by-step guide on how to shecht and advice on acquiring the proper tools. This new addition, like the other editions in the series, seeks to elucidate and provide guidance on the performance of what are often regarded as elusive mitzvos."
Hagon Rav Amitai BenDavid, shlita
Author of Sichas Chullin and Rosh Beis Medrash Bekurei Yosef

"I was profoundly impressed by the monumental sefer Ushchat’tem Bazeh of Rabbi Reit… more than another halacha sefer, but a wide-ranging work, covering many aspects, based on many years of research and interaction with leading Rabbanim and shochtim. This sefer is a testament to the author's deep understanding of the rules of shechita…"
