Reply To: Why did the Bnei Yisroel eat milchigs at har sinai?

Sam, I believe you are correct. I actually learned, and am recalling now thanks to you, that it was not that they didn’t know how to shecht, but that ma’amad Har Sinai was on Shabbos, 6 Sivan. So you are right, they couldn’t shecht and kasher their keilim until a day later. All they had available was milchigs, apparently.
