A river, a bird and a kettle

Hi,

"Rabbi Chanan said: There are three signs of peace [in a dream] - a river, a bird and a kettle.

"A river - For the verse says, 'I spread peace upon it, like a river.'

"A bird - For the verse says, 'Gd will protect you like flying birds.'

"A kettle - For the verse says, 'Gd will arrange [the same verb used to describe arranging a kettle on a stove] peace for us.'

"This refers to a kettle which does not contain meat, for another verse states, 'You have sliced them like the contents of a pot, and like meat in a cauldron.'"

(Talmud, Berachot 56b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
