A7 Radio's "Temple Talk" with Tamar Yonah

Listen Now!



the very first sin in the Bible was Adam and Eve eating from the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Since our first sin was unholy eating, only its opposite can fix it. All of life and all of history are training us for one end: to learn to “eat” in holiness, to not let the world’s pleasures wrench our attention from G-d (even for an instant). Eating to serve our 'appetites' and 'desires' lowers the spirituality in this world. Eating to serve G-d, reciting blessings over food, and having the right outlook on our actions, all raise the holy sparks of the food we eat and that animal that died for your plate to be filled.

Author, Sarah Yehudit Schneider joins Tamar and talks about her amazing and book, "Eating as Tikun ". It's THE book that opens up the mystic meanings of food and how we choose to intake our meals. A 5 star book pick!
