The Geometry of Gratitude

You ate at your friend's table and are grateful. So grateful you want to thank God. But the Rambam says you can't recite grace until you sit down, and you must do it where you ate. Why does God care where your body is when it's your heart that's grateful?

About This Talk

The Rambam's laws of blessing, washing, and communal grace teach us that gratitude is not a feeling floating abstractly in our minds -- it is an act that requires our whole selves, in their proper place, connected to others, and fully present.
