== About Lubavitch Shechita ==

Throughout the generations, chassidim have been particular about maintaining ~~maximum~~ hiddur in eating, since the food that a person eats becomes their flesh and blood, affecting their characteristics and personality, as well as their children.

Throughout the generations, chassidim have been particular about maintaining maximums hiddur in eating, since the food that a person eats becomes their flesh and blood, affecting their characteristics and personality, as well as their children.

Our Rebbeim saw great importance in establishing proper meat shechita as something that has spiritual influence on those who eat it. So much so that the Rebbe called the concept of 'Lubavitch shechita' a "mosad of hafatzas hamaayanos" (institution for spreading chassidus), meaning that through proper Chabad shechita done with hiddur according to the instructions of our Rebbeim, it influences those who eat the meat to be connected with our Rebbeim and Toras HaChassidus.

As a result, part of the definition of Lubavitch shechita is that it is done with the greatest hiddur, with absolute insistence on yirei shamayim shochtim and with close Chabad rabbinic supervision and oversight.
