Tikkun Olam in the Kitchen
Healing the World, One Recipe at a Time

I draw the primary theme for my book from my personal interpretation of "Tikkun Olam" and the immense potential this concept holds: to heal, repair, and transform the world. This transformation begins with creating positive changes within us, which ultimately radiate to the world around us. Individually and collectively, we possess the ability to heal ourselves and the world. My book and the development of my unique health coaching programs are the culmination of a long-held vision, inspired by witnessing the profound transformation in my own life, which has given me meaning, purpose, and a mission.

​

My spiritual guides are an eclectic group of rabbis, clergy of all faiths, secular spiritual humanists, agnostics, atheists, psychologists, and philosophers. I've often referred to myself as a "Ju-Bu," finding deep spiritual connection within the wisdom of both Judaism and Buddhism. There was a time in my life when I was eager to seek out spiritual guides who could engage in dialogue about g_d, life, love, healing, gratitude, and the pure potential for each of us to live a balanced, healthy life, regardless of our circumstances. This spiritual quest has led me to borrow the concept of Tikkun Olam, translating it into a simplified and easily understood process of steps on the path to healing the world, starting with ourselves.

​

With "Tikkun Olam in the Kitchen™" and my lifestyle transition coaching programs, I embrace the belief that "food is medicine, food is sustenance, and food is justice"(Michael Pollan). Access to food is a basic human right. Therefore, we begin by honestly assessing what we, as individuals, can do to fully commit to these principles in our own lives. It's crucial to examine our perceptions and lifestyle habits, especially concerning sustainability and animal agriculture. I'll introduce you to your "bio-individual" needs, emphasizing that we are unique and thrive when our lives include "soul foods" such as love, kindness, strong relationships, and generosity. We’ll also explore how we can adopt sustainable lifestyles and take actionable steps to reduce our carbon footprints.

​

Understanding these concepts is essential for moving forward with responsibility and accountability. Sustainable healing of the world starts with changes within ourselves. You'll learn more about this as you embark on the journey of healing the world, one "recipe" at a time. And that "recipe" begins with you.

​

My "Tikkun Olam in the Kitchen" Book and Coaching Programs guide you from the inside out. It will challenge you throughout the transition process, and I trust that you'll enjoy the journey!

L'Chaim! To Life, Love, and Joy!
