Eat and be satisfied- explorations on this weeks torah portion By Rabbi Jan Saltman
'second paragraph of the Shma', set there by our ancestors to convey how critical it is that we walk our talk. One of the verses addresses satiety:
וְנָתַתִּ֛י עֵ֥שֶׂב בְּשָׂדְךָ֖ לִבְהֶמְתֶּ֑ךָ וְאָכַלְתָּ֖ וְשָׂבָֽעְתָּ׃
I will also provide grass in the fields for your cattle—and thus you shall eat your fill.
