Does Someone Who Eats ๐ on Fish Day ๐ Get Saved from Fish ๐ ? It Didnโt Work for My Daughter…
Question
โWhoever eats fish on fish day is saved from fish.โ
My daughter made sure to eat fish every Sabbath ๐
because she would be saved from fish.
Bottom line, we went camping for a few days at the Kinneret, and she had a burn on her leg.
We went into the water and the fish came to her leg and started eating at it.
She screamed in pain, we pulled her up onto the air mattress from above, and from then until the end of the trip she stayed only on the mattress and didnโt dare put her leg in the water for fear of being eaten by the fish ๐ may their name be erased.
We got home on Friday, and on the Sabbath she refuses to eat fish ๐ because she saw how fish ๐ were eating her, and eating fish ๐ on the Sabbath didnโt save her from fish ๐
I didnโt know what to answer her…
Does the Rabbi have an answer?
Answer
This idea begins in nonsense and ends in absurdity. There is no protection for people who eat fish, and certainly not from harm caused by fish. Nor is there any reason to stop eating fish, except for the fact that it is preferable to be vegan.
I have no answer, because I do not see a question.
Discussion on Answer
Real in what sense? Someone invented it, so it became real?
I meant the original one. The one people who say the phrase are referring to.
The real phrase is โsaved from dag,โ meaning from the judgment of Gehenna, and I assume the point of the phrase is to encourage people to invest in the commandment of Sabbath delight.
