[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If our job here in this world is to fuse together the physical and spiritual, no act accomplishes that quite as much as eating. Whatever we eat enters our body and becomes fuel to sustain all its functions.
Following the kosher laws is a way to refine the physical act of eating and make the body a proper vehicle for holiness. It also gives us the opportunity to extend that holiness to the animals, plants and minerals which make up our diet. Some foods can be directly elevated through being eaten, while other foods are refined by not eating them–by avoiding them entirely. And, of course, not every substance is edible. Through keeping a kosher kitchen, everything we use in the process–our dishes, our sink, our appliances, the walls themselves–are uplifted. The Divine energy that permeates the universe comes to rest in our humble abode.
In addition to following the kosher laws, we make our eating sacred when we generously share our food with others. In 1988, Moshiach introduced another element to the Kosher Campaign: to affix a charity box to the wall of our kitchen. The pushka serves as a visible reminder that G-d’s blessings are not for us alone. When we’re in the kitchen preparing food for our family, the pushka signals us to share G-d’s abundance with others, and He will reciprocate by showering His infinite blessings upon our home.
