Who can someone go to to get Kaballah in Shechita in America?
-
I also did not understand the question, so I googled "kaballah in shechita". Found this jta.org/2013/11/21/life-religion/… Seems to imply "do it yourself shechitah", kosher slaughter in the backyard. Is this what you are asking?– DennisCommented Jul 29, 2015 at 16:27

Is there a specific kind of Kabbalah in Shechita that you seek?– Double AA ♦Commented Jul 29, 2015 at 16:28

The Do it yourself is actually quite a problem. Today it is forbidden to eat from shochet who hasn't received kabbala– user9841Commented Jul 29, 2015 at 18:35

Certification for shechitah is known as a "kabalah", not (directly) related to "Jewish mysticism."
I recall seeing a sign advertising lessons that would culminate in an exam/certification from either Rabbi Yisroel Belsky in Brooklyn (who is on OU Kosher's policy panel), or a name in Lakewood I'm afraid I didn't recognize. At least that's one name for you ...

AFAIK Rabbi Belsky doesn't give people kabalah...but perhaps I don't know that far :P– MTLCommented Jul 29, 2015 at 20:55
