Tonight we begin our 5-part adult education series titled, "Jews, Food, and Spirituality: A Complex Relationship." Rabbi Alan Berlin will kick off the series by discussing "Sacred Eating."
We must all eat to live, but how often do we actually THINK about the food we eat? I for one had spent the majority of my life eating unconsciously - not paying attention to what I ate. I got more enjoyment thinking about the food I was going to eat, rather than the actual eating of it.
The concept of "Sacred Eating" is a relatively new idea for me, and has only come up lately, as I have had some health issues directly related to my eating habits. I will be most interested to hear Rabbi Berlin's discussion tonight, and look forward to discussing it further here, on this blog.
Until later, then...
