Parshas Mishpotim

Hashem told Moshe to explain the laws of this week’s Parsha “Like a set table”. (Rashi)
My brother (SEB [beshaim R' Grossman]) once told me a beautiful explanation. What one can prepare to eat depends on what utensils he has with him. If he has a knife he can make himself a sandwich, if he has a flame to cook with- more can be prepared, a full oven even more etc. But if one comes to a wedding hall and sits down in his seat and before him the table is laid with three types of forks, three spoons, two knives and three glasses- he knows that whatever they bring out of the kitchen, he’ll be prepared and ready to eat. Rashi is telling us how to teach and give over Torah and Yiddishkiet. For the giving over of Torah teaching is not enough, one must give over a way of life and prepare the student so that whatever comes his way he will be ready with all tools at his disposal.
