Fish as Major Sabbath Food
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1973, JTA, Inc.)
Many Jews follow the tra-
dition of eating fish on the
Sabbath.
A number of reasons have
been offered for this custom.
The Talmud speaks of this
custom in Tractate Shabbos,
118, where various rabbis
declare that one adds the
dimension of delight to the
Sabbath by eating some fish.
One rabbi describes large
fish as a delight for the Sab-
bath. Some commentaries
claim that fish have a special
virtue. When the great flood
came to destroy all living
things, the fish were spared
because they had not com-
mitted a sin like other living
things, such as man and
mammals.
Others claim that fish are
eaten because they were the
first living organisms to be
created. The Sabbath is a
memorial to the creation, and
thus the Sabbath meal starts
off with fish.
Some claim that fish are
preferred because their eyes
never close and this symbol-
izes the constant watchful-
ness of the Almighty over
His creatures.
There are also those who
claim that just as fish can-
not exist outside lf th-

dia of water so is it impos-
sible for the Jewish people
to exist without Torah.
Others try to explain this
custom by saying that three
things were blessed in three
consecutive days at the time
of creation: fish were bless-
ed on Thursday; man was
blessed on Friday and the
Sabbath was blessed on Sat-
urday. Fish are, therefore,
eaten on the Sabbath in the
hope of again initiating the
series of three blessings
which they claim are indis-
pensible to each o.t h e r.
Hence, fish, man and the
Sabbath are joined as one
unit of blessing.
Some find the fish to be a
symbol of procreation which
is a blessing for mankind,
somehow guaranteeing that
man will not become extinct.
There are many more rea-
sons offered for eating fish
on the Sabbath. It can gener-
ally be said that the Sabbath
should be celebrated by every
means possible to show it to
be different than other days
of the week. Thus, both fish
and meat, which were prob-
ably not readily available for
every day of the week, were
alvv, iys present on the Sab-
bath to show that the Sab-
bath is a special day in the
lice of the Jew.
Lawrence Wernher, librarian of the city of Oak Park,
stands before a poster marking the 30th anniversary of
the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, one of the display items in
an exhibit at the Oak Park Library through the end of
this month. Other documents, including photos and the
texts of actual letters and memos from the ghetto fighters,
have been enlarged and mounted. The enlargements are
the work of Charles Herczeg and Robert Mames. Shaarit
Haplaytah, survivors of the Holocaust, commended Wem-
ber and the library for erecting the exhibit, in conjunction
with the 30th anniversary observance.
