Best Answer

The first Mishna (law) in the Talmudic tractate (book) called Chullin, states that any Jew may slaughter meat for the Jewish people. In recent centuries, however, because not everyone is versed in the details of how to perform the shechita (slaughtering), those who wish to slaughter are required to gain a certificate indicating that they know the laws well.

How long do the ritual go for?

That depends on the ritual and the cultural tradition. Rituals may be but a few seconds or minutes, to hours and days.

What is kashruth?

Kashruth, or kashrut [Hebrew כשרות] is the system of Jewish dietary laws, based on certain chapters and verses from the Old Testament. An example is Leviticus 11, which describes which fish, fowl and four-legged creatures may be consumed, and which may not. Not only are certain types of animals prohibited, but even with the permitted animals, there are precise methods of ending the animal's life, without which the animal still cannot be consumed. For example, a cow, to be kosher, has to have been slaughtered by a certified "shochet", a ritual slaughterer, in a precise manner. Jews believe that these laws apply only to Jews, and that non-Jews are exempt. Generally, these laws are viewed by Jewish sources as not based on human logic. In other words, as Maimonides of Spain explained, a Jew who keeps these laws should not say, "I avoid pork because I don't like it," or "because it is not healthy". Rather, he should say, "I would like it, but God, for His own reasons, forbade it to me."

Can you special summon a ritual monster using an effect without using the ritual spell?

Only if the card specifically says it can summon a Ritual Monster, like Ritual Foregone. Otherwise, you can't do it, cards like A Hero Emerges, or Monster Gate, cannot special summon a Ritual Monster.Also if you summon the Ritual Monster properly, by Ritual Summon, and it is then sent to the graveyard for whatever reason, then you may bring it back to the field using cards like Monster Reborn. However you cannot simply discard a Ritual Monster from hand and try using Monster Reborn straight away, they are a form of special summon only monster, simply by being Ritual Monsters.

The Citron (Etrog in Hebrew, important during the Jewish festival of Succot) is grown commercially in Israel, Italy, Greece, Corsica, Morocco and Yemen. In addition, there are Chinese and Bengal (India and Bangladesh) varieties that is not used in Jewish ritual.
