Shavuah Tov!!! Wishing everyone a blessed and beautiful week.
In JEWISH religion we have a blessing for every type of food we eat. We bless the food before we eat it so we can acknowledge the source from where it comes from ( earth “Adama”, tree “haetz, grain “mezonot”, drinks, meat , etc “shehakol”, bread “hamotzi” and wine or grape juice “hagafen”. If you want to know the full blessing go to Chabad.org
So every food has a specific blessing because by acknowledging where it’s coming from makes us more mindful of the greatness of G-d and His kindness towards us in supplying us with so many things to choose from. The way He nourishes our bodies is an act of love. He could of just made us plug ourselves to recharge and have energy to survive, but He did it in this way to give us the opportunity to rise above our human needs and be able to be grateful and mindful. So next time you eat think before you put the food in your mouth “do I live to eat or do I eat to live?” If you eat to live you are in the right track.
