סֵדֶר הֶכְשֵׁר בָּשָׂר לַאֲכִילָה
To make meat fit for consumption,
לְהוֹצִיא מִמֶּנּוּ דַּם הָאָסוּר הוּא
the forbidden blood must be removed by the following procedure:
שְׁרִיָּה, מְלִיחָה, הֲדָחָה
[First the meat is] soaked, then salted, and then rinsed.
עִנְיָנָם בָּעֲבוֹדָה
The parallels in our Divine service are:
שְׁרִיָּה — וֵוייקעֶן זִיךְ אִין דִּבְרֵי הָרַב
Soaking — which means immersing oneself in the words of one’s Rebbe;
מְלִיחָה — יְחִידוּת
salting — which means [meeting him at] yechidus;
הֲדָחָה — נִגּוּן
rinsing — which means [singing a] niggun.
