Parshat Shemini This Week: The Torah gives us kashrut, laws about what we can and cannot eat. But it’s not just about food.

We are what we consume. What we surround ourselves with. The people we follow, the music we listen to, the movies we watch, and the social media we scroll—all of it is absorbed through osmosis into our personalities, our psyches, and our souls.

Often, we don’t even realize the effect it’s having on us. Kashrut reminds us: what you imbibe affects who you become. Before you scroll, ask: Is this nourishing or toxic? Before you watch, before you listen, before you eat, pause. Consider what you’re letting in. You are what you consume. Choose wisely.

Shabbat Shalom. 🍎
