The day you’re born, the day you get married, and the day you die—there’s a practice for that. What foods you eat and in which order, how exactly to consummate your relationship, even pooping (and giving gratitude for it!)—Judaism has a say in that, too. Because the more present you are—with yourself, with your spouse, with your family, with your community—the more connected you become to who you are. And the more you understand yourself, the more you understand the world and God (whatever that happens to look like for you).
