Perfect Body! A Torah Portion Afterthought
Perfect Body podcast is an afterthought on the weekly Torah portions. The Torah is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Take time this year to read the Torah and be refreshed in your body, mind, and spirit. I tell the story of a portion of the portion breaking it down into bite size pieces that you can swallow so that you can eat and be full but not too full. Save room for your personal self-discovery as you engage in Torah study. Subscribe to this show to receive a new show every week. Visit http://www.shirahchante.com/podcast for more inspiration.
