Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kabbalah of Food: Conscious Eating for Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Health (Hardcover)
I own all three of Rabbi Bonder's kabbalah books: Envy, Money and Food. They're short and easy to read on my bus commute. But they are also very deep. I have read through all three several times now and I find I understand more each time I read them. The book relates respect for food, Torah and ecology in a very Jewish way that is fascinating.
