Candles are Burning Bright...

It's snowing in Jerusalem, Israel!!!  

Everyone is excited.

I'm tempted to curl up in my blankets, make a cup of hot tea, light some candles, watch a movie, and make it a quiet, cozy afternoon.

Sounds pretty good, hunh??

Just a word to the wise.

Store bought candles are usually made of paraffin. And burning paraffin on a regular basis without proper ventilation can be a risk for cancer.

Beeswax candles are safer.

And perhaps burning pure olive oil as well, but I'd have to check.

Stay warm and stay healthy!

G-d bless!!

Garlic, Juicing, and Coconut Fruit Smoothies

The diet to beat Cancer...

When we eat, we're either promoting health or promoting disease.

Garlics, leeks, onions and cruciferous vegetables like kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage kick cancers' ass!

It's Only Natural...

Our Sages say that He is not in some far away land. He is actively involved in our lives.

I find that loving G-d is something that occurs quite naturally, like a baby reaching for his mother.

oR a bird that leaps into flight...

oR a flower that stretches her petals to bloom...


oR the sun that extends his rays of  sunshine...

oR the arms that reaches to touch and hug...

oR a butterfly emerging from her cocoon...

                                                    oR a road that naturally winds...

                                   oR a tree that takes root in her soil...

oR the leaves that dance when a breeze passes by...

                   oR the natural chatter of friends....

oR the spiral turns of curly, kinky hair....


It's only natural....

G-d bless!

Whodunit??

There is something amazing I learned that I just need to mention again.

I guess I find it amazing because I couldn't believe just how ignorant I was.

Everyone talks about how cholesterol is so bad.

"High cholesterol?? Holy shit, run for the hills!"

But if we looked out the window and saw a bunch of cops standing across the street,
we wonder, 'what happened? why are the police here?" We want to know what caused the police
to come in the first place. The police are only there to restore order.

So, cholesterol is the police!!!

Usually, when we hear high cholesterol, folks are put on meds to just remove the cholesterol. It's like trying to shoo away the police without asking why they're there.

When damage to our arteries occur,  the body calls the cops. "HELP!! 911!"  And cholesterol comes to the rescue, sirens blaring and everything, trying to patch things up.

So, whodunit? If cholesterol isn't the bad guy, who is???

You probably guessed it.

Sugar and starch.

Sugar causes damage to our arteries!!!!! Somebody arrest those assholes!! They're disturbing the peace!!

We need cholesterol. They make up cell walls, they're the forerunners of our sex hormones.
But don't ask me about this stuff. I ain't no expert. Research it y'self!! And always consult with a trusted doctor and naturopath!!

G-d bless!!

How Dumb Are We?

Just how dumb are we??

Here we are, nestled on our sofas, cradling our iphones and our eyes riveted on the TV screen.

Our hard-earned money sitting in banks.

Our fridge filled with food purchased at supermarkets, with the origins and the processing of the foods unknown to us.

We give our bodies and our children's bodies to medical doctors who know best and insert what they like when the like.

We lather the paraben lotion on our skin.

We bathe in it.

We go to work.

Day in and day out.

To pay bills.

And to watch more TV and to cradle our iphones tenderly lest they fall and shatter into the cheap pieces they are made from.

And in the meantime, C-section surgeries increase, cancer becomes widespread, people in Africa die, fake GMO foods becomes the norm, national debt increases (only to come out from our pocket, mind you, so get to work) and nature becomes de-natured.

How freakin' dumb are we to allow this to happen??

Bereshit and Renewals

This Shabbat we go back to the beginning of the Torah to read parasha/ section Bereshit.

 

In Bereshit, the Torah records how G-d/ Hashem created the world. On the first day, He created darkness and light.

On the second day, He formed the Heavens. On the third, came land and sea.

On the fourth day, the sun, moon and stars are fixed into their positions.

On the fifth day, He created the fish, reptiles, and birds. And on the sixth day, He created human beings.

And on the Seventh day, He rested-which is Shabbat.

As the new Jewish year begins, we too can gather our G-d given creative powers to make new beginnings and renewals in our lives.

It can be anything, from job change, to learning something new, to taking a new art class, to cutting back on sugar, to ending a bad relationship, to dressing better, to trying new recipes, to socializing more, to ......

gosh darnit, there's just so much....

This new year, I'd like to nourish my kidneys and my liver.

I want to learn all about how them and how to strengthen them through herbs, food, exercise, acupuncture, acupressure, etc. These organs work hard to keep me well, and I want to honor that.

I'd also like to marry my 'soul mate.'

The imperfect one made perfectly for the imperfect me.

Happy new beginnings!

G-d bless!!!

Please pass a Sudanese

This is the second time it happened.

I don't know if it's because I was there or not. There's no way to ever be 100% sure.

I'm sitting at a Shabbos meal, and the topic of the Sudanese refugees and the potpourri of foreign   immigrants in southern Tel Aviv comes up.

Ok, think quick.

Is this a personal attack? Are they fishing for my opinion as a Black Jew? Or is it just noise to ensure everyone keeps talking and the dreaded-silence-at-the-table-doesn't-occur.

Somehow the topic got changed very quick, much to my relief.

But it got me thinking.

Perhaps there is a spiritual thirst for Eretz HaKodesh to have this sort of  potpourri. Maybe there is something deeper behind this.

Now, encouraging the said potpourri to follow the Seven Noahide Laws would be a step in the right direction...

G-d bless!

Kenya says no to GM Frankenstein Foods

Scientists are upset because Kenya has recently banned GM foods.

Kenyan officials stated that there was a "lack of sufficient information on the public health impact of such foods".

With a rat study published in Food and Chemical Toxicology showing rats developing cancer from eating GM corn, I completely understand Kenya and every single person who reject this man-made 'food.'

Scientists complained that the study was done incorrectly, from the experimental design to the statistical analysis.

Peter Kearns, head of food safety, nanosafety and chemical accidents for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris states," Resolution of the debate over the safety of GM foods can come only from rigorous science clarifying the issues"

So if the issue needs clarification, why push these GM 'foods' down our throats? Down the throats of Africans?

The scientists are upset??

Let'em be upset.

G-d bless!
