"I've gleaned a new and mature appreciation for many of the elements
of the observant
lifestyle. One book in
particular has been
inspiring me lately--
its a book of quotes by
the "Rebbe" Schneerson
called "Bringing Heaven
Down to Earth: 365
meditations of the Rebbe".
Its a book of 365
thoughts to read daily
and digest throughout
the day. you would
really enjoy this book I
think. Its been amazing
to me to look through it
because each of these
snippets of wisdom are
so profound, such
mind-blowing little
nuggets of insight, and
then I realize that the
only place I've heard
information in this
format before is with
you! It just goes to
show that the
foundational elements of
our religion and
heritage penetrate
everything that we do,
explicitly or not,
whether we are aware of
it or not. And its also
amazing the ways in
which elements of Jewish
thought and spirituality
can be interpreted
through the lens of
eating disorder
recovery."
