- MINT BAKED MACKEREL
- Put mackerel back on the menu with this tasty Mediterranean dish! The fish
is served on a flavoursome and colourful bed of tomato salad. It is quick
and easy to make and, moreover, is extremely good for you. I like to serve
it with a lemon cous-cous or lemon-scented crushed new potatoes. Mackerel
contains omega 3 essential fatty acids as well as selenium, vitamin B12,
niacin and is also low in sodium. Regular consumption of oily fish helps to
lower blood pressure, heart disorders and strokes.

- WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT...ROMANCE

- Dear Rabbi
Please explain the importance of reciting the kaddish every day. My father passed away three weeks ago and I am not sure I understand the need to do this every day for an entire year.

- Dear Robert
If you understand why you need to do it for even one day – or even at the grounds for that matter – then you’ll understand why it’s important for the whole year.
The ancient Sages explained that it is only in our corporeal world that we can perform good deeds. Once our ship has sailed, there are no more opportunities. So, if you don’t lead an observant life, does this mean you’ve missed the boat? Certainly not, explain the mystics. Those in this world closely connected to the dearly departed can still accrue merit on their behalf. Every time you do something meaningful or engage in study in their memory, you add merit to their soul.
Kabbalah explains that in reciting the Kaddish prayer, “one helps to limit negative judgement against a soul and, furthermore, enables the soul to ascend to a higher, deeper place in the upper realms”.
To be sure, there is also an implicit benefit to you, as the mourner. The process of exalting and sanctifying the Name of God is a healing process.
Reciting alongside other mourners helps create fellowship, where each person helps the others mitigate feelings of loneliness or hopelessness. A small community of healing is created.
I’m sorry for your loss. In light of the above I trust you will make every effort to bring honour to your father and merit to his soul.
