Sukkot and the Shelter of the Body

Rabbi Minna Bromberg
This Sukkot, may we practice unlearning lifetimes of body shame to find the everyday holiness in our own physical forms. May we honor the ways that our bodies change all the time, just like our sukkot — through our own choices of adornment or reinforcement, and through changes we are powerless to influence.

Broadcasting the Miracle of Fat Liberation

Rabbi Minna Bromberg
At Fat Torah, Hanukkah is our favorite holiday. Hanukkah in particular is a holiday that celebrates fat. On Hanukkah, we remember that miraculous oil that was meant to only last for one day and ended up lighting the rededicated Temple in Jerusalem for eight days. Eating foods fried in oil, in fat, is a key part of this commemoration.
