Thorax

הגדרה (אנגלית)

The thorax is the part of a mammal’s body located between the neck and the abdomen, separated from the abdomen by the diaphragm. The bony base of the thorax is the rib cage (originally referring to the outer covering above the chest).

(“One does not kiss them on the hand and thorax themselves, but on the hand cover and thorax cover, meaning on the clothing into which the hand and thorax are inserted” – Torat Chaim, Tractate Avoda Zara 17a.)
