GRACE ON THE FIRST SHABBAT MEAL
SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT
-by Rav Michael
A family meal is the place for connection between members of the family.
….. In preparing meals we concentrate on recipes. It is worthwhile to add instructions for connection during a meal. Spices add substances to our bodies that a body requires.
If we connect during a meal, we feed each other with spiritual food. Basically, what we eat is not important.
A meal creates a connection, mutual fulfillment of human tastes. It is important to listen to, to understand and to communicate with each other. Create an atmosphere of connection and love. It is necessary to plan how to make everyone happy, how to make a connection, warmth, and an atmosphere of satisfaction. Then besides tasting the food, we taste the spirit between us. This is what will satisfy our souls …..
