A Bone To Pick

Daf Hashavua

Gittin 68b -69-70

Daf Hashavua

The Mahril said that all Refuos and Lachashim  mentioned in Shas, are forbidden to be practiced.

It only works in certain conditions.  Someone who will try it and it won’t work , might ridicule the Chachamim.

There is one exception, and that is, if someone has a (fish) bone stuck in his throat.

The Gemoro ( Shabbos 67a) says that he should bring another bone and place it on the back of his head and say" חד חד נחית בלע בלע נחית חד חד

This Lachash is allowed because it is Boduk Umenuso (guaranteed) to work in all conditions."

I once heard that this Lachash only works if you use the Sefardic Havarah (accent).
The Ches and the Ayin (from chad, nochis and bola) are pronounced from deep inside the throat.
Pronouncing these two letters (sefardi) manipulates the throat, so that the bone will dislodge.

  1. " the Sefardic Havarah (accent)........the Ayin (from chad, nochis and bola) .....pronounced from deep inside the throat."

    I don't believe that is correct, at least with regard to the ayin. Perhaps you are thinking of Teimanim, not Sepharadim?

    By the way, I believe some Ashkenazim have a deep ayin too, such as Dutch Jews.
