Part I: A Gut-Level Transformation
Last October, I fasted during Yom Kippur for the first time since I was a teenager. I’ve joined a synagogue, where I sometimes attend Shabbat morning services. I’ve stopped eating pork. Almost every day, I read some of the Hebrew Bible (aka the “Old Testament”), with the help of Meir Soloveichik’s commentaries in his “ Bible 365 ” podcast.
