I asked my publisher for a radical design choice: a fat book!
Shouldn't the messenger embody the message? It's a sweet little chonk. Just by holding it, you practice embracing fatness.

"What a retort from the text itself! This is a verse about idolatry, specifically about not idolizing a particular shape (or size) of the human body."
I'm delighted that today, Life is a Sacred Text has an excerpt from the wonderful Rabbi Minna Bromberg's new book, EVERY BODY BELOVED, on what the Talmud and other sacred texts might say about concern trolling and, "But what about your health??!"

You savvy folks know how important pre-orders are for a book's wellbeing. Plus, I firmly believe that your own beloved body/heart/soul will benefit from owning a copy. You can get yours most places you like to buy books and also at bit.ly/pre-orderEBB You're also lovingly invited to spread the word!

Walked home from shul this morning with a “diet culture is idolatry” tote bag over my shoulder. Passed a dude doing a strenuous workout in the park. He saw my bag & said, “Challenging the dominant paradigm. I like it.”
I like it too, dude, I like it too.

It’s my first post here and I couldn’t be prouder to dedicate it to my beloved Alan who just finished his memoir on medical trauma, peritoneal dialysis, and choosing life.
