The way that we eat can help us to climb closer to Hashem.

A person's table is like an altar to Hashem.  What does this mean?  We are able to break down our connection to the physical world through our eating.  We are able to get closer to Hashem by the way that we eat.  I can actually build myself spiritually by the way that I eat.  It is a wonderful thing that a person can eat and climb closer to Hashem.
