Description
The Torah records a feast with Yisro. Rashi - any feast with talmidei chachamim is like enjoying the radiance of the Shechina. Moshe didn't participate - Rashi -He was serving, Baal Sem Tov - Moshe had a very very spritual relationship with food. We learned from the Tiferes Shlomo about the eating of tzadikim and the eating and hosting of Avraham Avinu, all about elevating. Rav Tzadok teaches that this feast really happened after kabbalas haTorah, but it's recorded beforehand to teach us, the entrance into Torah is through holy eating. We moved over to teachings from the Maor Vashemesh and Rav Tzadok about eating and tubeshvat. The eating of tzadikim to be mashpiah, Rebbe Chanina Ben Dosa, like a bucket. From Tu Beshvat begins the journey to purim then pesach then sefirat haomer and shavuot, all about elevated eating. A Torah fom the Apter Rav - eating should be ke'zayis-just like an olive. Don't eat the olive whole, make it into oil, use intellect to elevate our food.
