HEALING A CURVED SPINE [#15925]

October 17, 2021

QUESTION:

What is the remedy for a curved spine?

ANSWER:

(1) Eating a piece of fish in honor of Shabbos. This is because a kosher fish has a spine, while a non-kosher fish has no spine. See Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 83. (2) Take a straight lulav which a blessing was made on during Succos, and keep it next to your bed. (3) Be careful to bend your spine and straighten up during Shemoneh Esrei during the appropriate places.
