A FISHY Story

[11a bottom] Rav: The healthy way to eat fish is to first broil it with its “brother” [salt (since both come from the sea)], then place it in its “father” [water (as fish come from water)], and eat it with its “son” [fish broth (which comes from fish as it is broiling)], and drink it with its “father” [water].

T’s Lesson: It is interesting how the Gemarah here gives tips on how to best eat fish. The Torah truly has all the answers to all of life’s questions. Pirkei Avos: “Delve in it [Torah], for all of life is in it.” If we would just open our eyes and realize the Torah answers all of life’s situations, we would have much easier times dealing with everything in life.
