Hayom Yom 26 Elul - Soaking salting and rinsing in our Divine service

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.
