Peeling a Pomegranate

I am currently reading The Rosh Hodesh Table: Foods at the New Moon for my Kohenet project. (Thanks for the recommendation, Ashera Batya! More info on my project later!) and I came across a sidebar that mentioned that the fish would have survived the Great Flood.

I suppose this should be obvious, but it never occurred to me before. Fish and all animals in the ocean would have survived the Flood. That’s one of the reasons why fish are a symbol of good luck.

I guess that dreadful Star Trek movie was right — it is all about the whales. They can follow many lines back before the Flood. We all have to trace our lineage (mythic or otherwise) to Noah and his family.

Save the whales, save the world!
