It is our obligation to purify and uplift the food we eat by having the proper intentions as we say the blessings over the food. This in turn purifies ourselves and the whole world.

We explore the concept that food has a nutritious aspect and a waste aspect, which is a result of the sin of Adam Harishon.

We learn that food has two aspects to it, the physical and the spiritual aspect. The physical aspect sustains the physical part of a person, whereas the spiritual aspect sustains the person's spiritual side.

We explore numerous places where the food discussed in the verses is actually reference to Torah and mitzvos, which are the 'food' of the world.

We discuss further the comparison between the soul-body connection and the God-world connection, in relation to the concept of food as it nourishes the body, but does not directly benefit the soul.

We explore the concept of Shiur Komah, the 'measure of the structure' of the spiritual realm, and the structure of Man that parallels it.

Our sages speak of a parallel between the soul's relationship to the body and Hashem's relationship to the world.

The blessings bring down influx, but when one disregards the blessings, he prevents Hashem from giving His goodness to the world.

The power of the blessings, of prayer and of fulfilling the commandments is that it purifies all the worlds and connects them to the one performing the acts.

Even a name like Elokim must be used with care, since it can refer to other forces that Hashem has given power to.
