We talk about the significance of bread as a foundational element to Judaism and to life, the way in which Jews succeed and prosper in foreign lands, and how personal and business success can lead to resentment from those who are affected by the business dealings.

Musings and remarks about Judaism, Chassidus, philosophy, and modern life from Benjamin Walters, a self-proclaimed "non-denominational Jew" living in the Great Basin desert in the High Sierras. Although not well-versed in the Talmudic texts or in rabbinical wisdom, Benjamin attempts to provide a unique and perspective and blend of American, Orthodox, Secular, and worldly beliefs to his view and interpretation of the Torah, and to help others in the journey and understand of their lives as Benjamin learns and navigates through his own.
