Let’s Get Practical
Eating with Purpose
In this week’s parsha, we learn from the korban Pesach that eating is meant to be a ladder for avodas Hashem. The Torah required the Pesach meat to be eaten in the most enjoyable way to teach us that physical pleasure, when guided properly, can help awaken gratitude and love for Hashem.
Once each day this week when I eat, I will bli neder pause briefly beforehand and remind myself that Hashem chose to give me food that is enjoyable. I will try to eat with awareness and calm, using the pleasure of the meal as a moment of gratitude and a small step toward ahavas Hashem.
This week’s booklet is based on tapes: 436 - Eating for Perfection | 716 - Greatness at the Dinner Table 675 - Learning to Love Hashem | 779 - Eating Matzah | 851 - Eating in the Service of Hashem | 864 - Seven Objectives of Tefillah
