א. עַל יְדֵי שׁוֹחֲטִים הֲגוּנִים בְּנֵי אָדָם מְרַחֲמִים זֶה עַל זֶה, וְהוּא הַדִּין לְהֵפֶךְ.

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
When ritual slaughterers are devout, [the meat they provide brings] people to have compassion for one another. The inverse is also the case, [as the meat of ritual slaughterers who are not devout causes people to lack compassion].

ב. הַשּׁוֹחֵט שֶׁהוּא מְקַיֵּם כִּבּוּד אָב, הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מְשַׁמְּרוֹ, שֶׁלּא לְהַאֲכִיל. טְרֵפוֹת, וְהוּא הַדִּין לְהֵפֶךְ.

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
When a ritual slaughterer fulfills the commandment to honor one’s father, God protects him from inadvertently distributing non-kosher meat. The inverse is also the case, [as transgressing this commandment leads to his inadvertently distributing non-kosher meat].
