THE TREE OF LIFE - Ideal nutrition according to Hasidism and Kabbalah
Discovering, in the light of Kabbalah and Hasidism, how many mysteries our most ordinary actions hold, and even more so the nourishment upon which our lives depend—this is what the Tree of Life invites us to do. We will do this by examining the processes that take place when we sit down to eat, and even more so when we elevate our souls by elevating the worlds—through our daily bread. How does a life-giving soul vibrate in every fiber, animating it and potentially illuminating us—if we could only discover it?
Then we will distinguish seven selection criteria, a grid that would allow those who adopt it to sort what they intend to consume, in order to be able to eat really well.
Here are the seven steps:
Regulatory, dietary, spiritual-ritual, emotional, intentional, connective, humanitarian.
On a spiritual level, the Torah dictates a dietary regimen: "Kosher," which is the most well-known Hebrew term: we hear it in university cafeterias, on supermarket shelves, and even on international flights, of which it is an integral part…
Everyone knows that these are 'religious' rules, but very few suspect the unfathomable wisdom and mysteries contained within them!
But if, through simple ignorance, we were to conceal these mysteries, then drought would befall us: the Law would seem arid to us.
In a generation bombarded by so many dazzling lights, it is urgent to seek the Tree of Life, the profound meaning of the laws, and to gather some of its fruits. The inner splendor of the Torah, by revealing itself, can rescue us from the clutches of nihilistic exile and pervasive monotony.
With the big day just around the corner, we are invited to a wonderful feast where our place is already reserved – will we participate?
