Yadidya Greenberg, Executive Director at Lev Farm and Shochet/Educator at The Kosher Cut®

Yadidya is an Israeli born shochet, aspiring poultry farmer, and educator. In his twenties Yadidya learned at Yeshivat Bat Ayin for 3 years, where he became interested in animal related mitzvos. A few years after leaving Yeshiva Yadidya decided to learn shechita so he could process his own naturally raised animals. After receiving kabbalah (certification in shechita) from the honorable Rabbi Yisroel Landsman Z”L in the fall of 2011,  Yadidya went on to work in a kosher beef slaughterhouse. During this time Yadidya studied humane animal handling techniques and began teaching about shechita and animal well being in venues such as Yeshiva University, Vermont’s Sterling College, Hazon, Warren-Wilson college, and many more. Today, along with working to start Lev Farm (a forthcoming sustainable standardbred heritage poultry farm), Yadidya gives in depth presentations about shechita and provides shechita training to a diverse range of students and institutions through his personal business, The Kosher Cut®.
