Mystical Judaism's Perspective on Eating Right and Nutrtion

The Torah teaches us that, “Man does not live on bread alone, but rather man lives on the word of the mouth of God.”2 In the Torah, the word “bread” refers to food in general, not just to bread. What the above verse is teaching us is that within the “bread” we eat is invested Divine life-force, and, moreover, that it is important for us to know that this life-force is coming directly from God, the Creator and Sustainer of all life (and, indeed, of all reality).
If we eat our food with this realization in mind, we can extract the Divine life-force or Divine spark that is the inner essence of the food. As a result, the level of nutrition—both physical as well as cognitive and spiritual nutrition—that we gain from the food will be much greater than if we eat without this realization in mind....

The Month of Nisan: Head Over Heels

In the Zohar, it is noted that the human body has 3 primary controllers: the brain, the heart, and the liver. The brain controls the entire body. The heart is responsible for the proper flow of blood through the body, distributing life equally between the different organs and cells. The liver controls the body’s habitual functions, which is why the liver is considered made of coagulated blood, unlike the life giving liquid blood pumped by the heart). The initials of these three primary controllers, brain, heart, and liver, in Hebrew spell the word for “king.” This means that the model of the three primary controllers can be used to understand the three levels at which the king directs the Jewish people internally.
