The Zohar also notes that the Hebrew word for "in happiness" (b'simcha, Hebrew: בשמחה) contains the same letters as the Hebrew word for "thought" (machshava, Hebrew: מחשבה). [26] This is understood to mean that the key to happiness is found through our minds, by training oneself to weed out any negative thought that prevent one from ...
Stewed meat was considered to be a dish worthy of serving to honored guests (Judges 6:19–20). A less common way to prepare meat was to roast it over an open fire, but this was done particularly for the meat of the Passover lamb. For long-term storage, meat was smoked, dried, or salted, according to indications in texts and ethnographic studies.
If a corpse is present in a house, people and objects within the house become impure. [20] Some of these activities are forbidden (i.e. eating non-kosher meat), [21] others are permitted (i.e. sex between a married couple), [22] and others are unavoidable (i.e. if a person dies suddenly while other people are in the house). Thus, there is no ...

Tabor argues that the Ebionites most likely named themselves after the poor, the first of many groups of people mentioned in the Beatitudes of Jesus as blessed and meriting entry in the coming Kingdom of God on Earth ...
The Gathering of the Manna by James Tissot.

At Daniel's request, the four boys were subjected to a test; they were fed only vegetables and water for ten days. At the end of the ten days, the four boys were in better condition than the other boys who ate the king's food. [13] The youths chose to eat this food because the king's food was non-kosher, not because the king's food was non-vegan.
The results showed the vegan diet had better cardiometabolic health outcomes compared to the omnivore diet, such as: a 20% drop in insulin levels, a 12% drop in LDL "bad" cholesterol and a 3% drop ...
Produce designated for the poor (peah, leket, shichecha) and unowned crops were not subjected to (and could not be used as) terumah. [28] Each type of produce had to be individually tithed. [29] A small whole fruit was preferably given, rather than part of a larger fruit. [30] Terumah had to include the best produce if a kohen (priest) lived ...
