Comments on: New York dining http://www.moretorah.com/2006/08/22/new-york-dining/ Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:14:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: tzvi http://www.moretorah.com/2006/08/22/new-york-dining/#comment-575 Sun, 27 Aug 2006 04:02:08 +0000 http://www.moretorah.com/2006/08/22/new-york-dining/#comment-575 So I think it is very important to remember – my association with quality meat meals predates the sad attempt of a handful of young upstarts’ earnest proclamations of meat-love. I am an internationally acknowledged shwarma expert (potentially the pinnacle fleisch experience). <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.aish.com/spirituality/odysseys/Shwarma_A_Love_Story.asp"> I have articles on the subject</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.judaicawebstore.com/aish/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=887-100110">I am published</a>, and if you search for “shwarma” on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/">google</a>, I come up on the first page. Clearly Larissa, your comparison needs to be reversed. In terms of my carrot juice, it is not because I feel at all “guilty.” Nothing could be further from the truth. The Talmud clearly states “kol b’dai shmaiam chutz tzonim u’pachim” which translated means “everything is in the hands of heaven except for colds and minor ailments” (paraphrased, but based on classic Talmudic commentaries). In other words, it is clearly an injunction from the Torah to take care of your health, and if you get sick you can not blame G-d or chalk it up to “divine providence” – it is your fault that you didn’t look after yourself. No guilt, just intelligent living based on Jewish sources.

Whoah!!!!!!!! SAD life!!!!!!!! The food was good at that place in NJ though............the steak was sooo good and so rare. Larissa.Tzvi is not quite like CW yet....because the honorable CW would not be feeling at all guilty about such consumption of meat and would for sure not follow it with juiced veggies.
