I met Brett and Jon at Au Lac today. If you haven’t been there, it is an amazing Vegan and Raw Vegan restaurant in Fountain Valley, California. The chef, Chef Ito, is in the midst of a 6 year vow of silence, which is a matter for discussion in and of itself. But in short, this is the kind of person that you want preparing your food.
Interestingly enough, Brett noticed that the Chef had changed or is going to change the opening time from 11:30 to 11:33 and the closing time from 9:30 to 9:33. I find the opening time very interesting indeed, but both times incorporate the master number “33”.
As we were standing at the door waiting to get in, two other people walked up. One of them looked at the sign with the new time and wondered if that was the opening time of the restaurant. I explained to this person that that was the new opening time to start on December 1, that the Chef had decided to make the opening and closing times more “metaphysical”.
“What do you mean, more metaphysical?”
“Metaphysical means beyond the basic physical, for instance, in numerology, ‘33’ is a master number.”
“33 is a prime number.”
“You are referring to basic mathematics; in the science of numerology, 33 is a master number.”
“So you are a philosopher.”
“Actually, this is science, strict science, but science based on metaphysics.”
What I didn’t tell our friend is that the number “33” represents the Christ Vibration, the vibration of universal and unconditional Love, the Son of the Father, the second person in the Holy Trinity, the preservative aspect of the Universe or Vishnu in Hindu tradition and philosophy.
Chef Ito is indeed an interesting fellow and I will certainly be back to his restaurant the next chance I get.

We've been thinking lately about a prominately displayed poster in a synagogue that delineated all the mitsvahs one could accrue during a prayer service. This got me to thinking that perhaps a Jew who contemplates going vegan may feel that he'd be missing out on performing the many mitsvahs of the kosher laws.
At our last meeting on September 7th, 2008, Orthodox Rabbi David McLashley pointed out how this type of thinking misses the point of the manifold and complicated kosher laws, which is that they were designed to discourage animal consumption by making it difficult.
This led us to re-evaluate our relationship to the non-Orthodox denominations as well as the Orthodox Jews.
Perhaps- instead of being simply watered-down denominations of convenience- they exist to promote the universal mitzvahs (such as loving your fellow human) over the ritual ones.
May Judaism extend further into the "universal" by loving our fellow animals enough not to eat, wear, or experiment on them.
