ברכות לז,א

When eating cooked rice make a mezonos and borei nefoshas see Piskei Teshuvas 208,12 Tosfas on the top of the page explains the meaning. The first part are nessecities for life as water and bread, and the secod part are extras which a person can live without. I heard from Rav Pollak Shlita that through what people are missing, they become united as they must rely on others to fulfill it similarly, as water gets formed from hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen provides the electrons that oxygen is missing creating a compound not easily separated.
