Among the many important commandments in this week's Torah Reading, Ekev, is the instruction to bless G-D after we have eaten—the only blessing specified in the entire Torah! Articles #3-4 offer insights into the spirituality of our meals and health—the latter from the Zohar, the former from a top-level nutritionist in Israel.
The reading concludes with the second paragraph of the Shma Yisrael prayer, which mentions both mezuza (article #1) and tefilin (article #7).
Finally: ever wonder about what Twitter is really all about? See article #2!
