Food 4 Thought
The blessing we make after washing our hands before eating bread is “Blessed are you God, Master of the universe, who sanctified us with mitzvot, and commanded us with the lifting up our hands.” What an unusual blessing. Why doesn’t the blessing talk about washing our hands, why lifting them up? The answer is because we are about to eat, and the hands are the tools we are going to use to break bread and eat the food. The lifting up of the hands before the meal begins is how we become aware of the spiritual nature of the meal. Before any food passes our lips we are already becoming mindful of the food we are about to ingest.  Learn more about eating mindfully Jewish.

Serve this simple yet flavorful fish dish with whole grain couscous and steamed green beans for a delicious meal that can be served in minutes. If using frozen tilapia, thaw before preparing.
