Laibl's Weekly Parsha Video
Experience a Spiritual Detox

SUMMARY
 Many medical sources now extol the virtues of fasting – engaging in a detox for the body.  Yom Kippur is a detox for the soul. Disengaging from the ordinary and mundane, from technology and media, allows the soul to resurface and recalibrate its ‘factory setting’ once again for a brand new year. 

Notes:
•Fasting is a real ordeal for most people – especially many Jews when it comes to Yom Kippur. Perceived as a severe deprivation, suffering of the body, and going ‘cold turkey ’ to the food addict, it is approached with trepidation, dislike and fear.
•Yet there is a body of nutrition science research that opines that fasting is a very necessary and healthy practice, one that helps to detox the body, clear the mind and blood vessels of the heart, and restore the ‘factory setting’ we came with into the world. 
•When approached in this manner, Yom Kippur can be experienced very differently. It becomes a positive, approachable, and even exciting 25 hours to look forward to. 
•And this is only at the physical level. But look at it also as a spiritual detox. A day when we detach from the gross and mundane, from the confusing and boring, from technology and media. 
•Yom Kippur is spiritual growth phase via material disassociation. We can devote ourselves to introspection, re-strengthening our relationship with the All, and expressing gratitude for just being alive to begin another year – afresh, with new eyes, with new potential.
•Don’t let Yom Kippur become a chore and a bore. Make it a detox and more.
