What exactly is the difference between each of them as it relates specifically to the post-Shechita examination of the animal’s lungs? I think that Bais Yosef insists that the lungs be completely smooth with no possibility of a hole which would render the animal Trief; Glatt Kosher is ok with a scab on the lungs so long as it is removed and then no hole is found; and Kosher is also ok with a scab without  trying to remove it. Is that correct?

With all due respect I asked a Yes or No question.
With all due respect not everything can be simplified to a yes or no.

So, in other words, you guys don’t really know whether my simplified description of the difference between the 3 levels of shechita kashrus is correct or not. Or it’s an inside elitist secret that the general public who have not studied all those authorities cited are not worthy of knowing.

I'm going with "inside elitist secret" on this one. Can we get a poll?

Why the animosity? If you really want to know the intricacies of the halacha and aren't just trolling, go ask someone qualified to answer in person. I think it's ridiculous when people ask loaded halachic questions on an anonymous online forum and then get upset about the lack of good answers. Get a life.

1) Glatt no scabs at all
2) kosher, has some scabs,but these have been skillfully analyzed and tested to ascertain that they do not render the cow traif
3) Glatt Beis Yosef, means same as number 1, just restricted to less areas of the lungs that would be problematic according to ramo.

Was that for only a one word answer? Don't leave out the last part. Zil gmor.

You need to define the difference between a rir and a sircha then you need to settle which cases of a rir did the B"Y agree were glatt and which ones were only glatt lfi the Rema.....etc....
Everything stated above is a gross over simplification.
Kind of like asking if the docs on DDF can describe all the different approaches to curing lung cancer in a DDF post....

Ohkay. Didn't sound like the guy wanted to become a bodek based on any answers here.

Just a basic idea.


So if someone asked how to deal with lung cancer for eg, I would respond that preferably cut it out, but if it's stage 3+ then do chemo.
