RELIABLE REMEDIES

[113b middle] Shmuel knows the remedy for every affliction, except for three: Eating bitter dates on an empty stomach, girding one’s hips with a damp flax cord, and not walking four cubits after eating bread before going to sleep.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: It is important to recognize that no matter how much we know, we do not know everything. People should never think that they are too big ‘hot shots,’ since we are all only who and what we are because of G-d’s generosity and goodness. In fact, the greatest Rabbis admit that the more they know, they more they realize they do not know.
