[Avodah] Where Bread Comes From

[Rich, Joel]

To get back to my thesis, I'll summarize it again (as it exists in my
head right now): I think you can't both lament the dry passionless
observance of halakhah and insist that no one embellish their practice
with other inspiring practices. What other pragmatic route would you
give people to inspire themselves? Historically speaking, this was
always part of the toolkit, and the source of numerous minhagim.

Tir'u baTov!

IMHO it's not an either or, I have no problem with it as long as it's
recognized as an embellishment and thought about in terms of ROI (e.g.
baking 100 challah's versus going through your list of single friends)
