One thing that felt good was donating food to the local food bank while observing my fast. Other forms of teshuvah can include vegetarianism/veganism, eating and donating more organic foods, eating less corporate and processed foods, eating more whole foods and whole grains, avoiding genetically engineered foods (a violation of shatnes, which prohibits inappropriate mingling), etc. Please see The Vegetarian Mitzvah http://www.brook.com/jveg Jewish Vegetarians of North America http://www.JewishVeg.com Organic Consumers Association http://www.organicconsumers.org GM Watch http://www.gmwatch.org Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year!
