This two page PDF document includes a variety of blessings, meditations, teachings and customs to be performed before, during and after eating in order to elevate this seemingly mundane physical act into a spiritual, intentional experience. The ideas come from a wide range of sources, including the Torah, Talmud, and Zohar, as well as Orthodox, Renewal, Reconstructionist and neo-Chassidc rabbis. With an emphasis on spiritual and moral eating, eco-Kashrut, and sustainability, this resource was created by Hazon's Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center, Adamah Foods, the Elat Chayyim Center for Jewish Spirituality, and the Open Siddur Project, an initiative that aims to liberate the creative content of Jewish spiritual practice as a collectively shared resource for students, scholars, artists, and educators to adopt, adapt, and redistribute.
