I would like to use quote from my Torah Portion to emphasize the reason for blessing the food before and after we eat. “Man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord does man live”.

This quote highlights that we bless the food that we eat not only to thank the food itself but to be grateful for the energy and life it gives to us. One interpretation to help understand this is that food has two “sides”: the physical side and the spiritual side; like the manna that is the food that came from heaven for the people who traveled in the desert for 40 years until they entered into the land of Israel. Now that we live in Israel, instead of manna we have the 7 species.

According to Jewish mysticism the 7 species each have special qualities that can relate to us as humans. Here are the 7 species and the qualities they each embody: Grapes = happiness, holiness and truth within us. Honey comes from the dates and it makes you healthy, strong and to believe in yourself. Oil = harmony, light and peace. Fig = knowledge and wisdom. Pomegranate = mitzvahs, relationships. Barley = physical side of each one of us. Wheat = spiritual and faith in each one of us. All qualities of these 7 species can be compared to human beings, like it says in the Torah “kee ha adam hoo etz hasade”. “The man is like a tree in the field”.
