Makhon Aliyah has been training ritual slaughterers for 18 years, addressing a consistent demand from kosher slaughterhouses. The program guides individuals from learning the laws of shechita (ritual slaughter) and checking meat, to the practical skills of preparing and sharpening the slaughtering knife. Participants undergo rigorous training, honing their senses to detect imperfections invisible to the eye, before taking exams to receive a shechita certificate.
Unlike other programs, Makhon Aliyah actively assists graduates in finding employment by leveraging its established connections with slaughterhouses seeking qualified personnel. This placement support eliminates the need for graduates to seek out job opportunities independently or rely on connections, providing them with a direct path to a profession and a steady income.
The course is open to all, including married Haredi men (avrechim), young men (bachurim), and working individuals. Classes are held in the evenings in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem, allowing participants to attend after their daily studies or work. The program operates under the guidance of prominent rabbis.
Makhon Aliyah is currently offering a special incentive for new enrollees: a luxury set of slaughtering knives valued at 1,500 shekels. The institute emphasizes that this is a profession with perpetual need and spiritual significance, offering a stable livelihood for those seeking meaningful work.
