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.

Green beans come alive with the vibrant flavors of tangy sumac and zesty lemon. Forget the hassle of boiling—simply sauté them in a touch of olive oil with a hint of garlic for a quick and delicious side dish.
