Editing Mesechtas Chulin (section)

== Explanation from the Baal Shem Tov ==
In Chulin 48b it states: It was said regarding a needle found in the lung, Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Chanina declare it kosher, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, Rabbi Mani bar Patish, and Rabbi Shimon ben Elyakim declare it treif. The Baal Shem Tov said that the three who declared it kosher, their souls are from the side of the attribute of Chesed, and the three who declared it treif, the root of their souls is from the attribute of Gevurah, and the roots of souls are hinted at in names. Therefore, the three names of those who declare it kosher hint to Chesed: Rabbi Yochanan - Yud Chanan, Rabbi Elazar - El Azar, Rabbi Chanina - Lamed Chaninah, and similarly for the three who declare it treif.
