healthy jewish is an online publication about healthy Jewish living and the natural world of Israel, written by me, Shmuel Chaim Naiman, a health teacher and foraging guide based in Ramat Bet Shemesh, Israel.
After October 7th, The Healthy Jew enlisted to protect Jews. Not a physical (with guns and tanks) or mental (online and media) battle, but a battle against fear, anxiety, stress, and negative drama. Our enemy wants us to stop living, caring, and connecting. They want us to see Israel as “a land that eats its inhabitants.”
We win the war for health by practicing healthy Jewish living and appreciating Israel’s natural world. Everyone is a soldier in this war.
For the past four months, The Healthy Jew has been waging war with two free weekly newsletters.
- “Healthy Jews” (Wednesday) shows you how to defeat terrorism with healthy Jewish living strategies that are especially useful in times of crisis. We will not allow the enemy to interfere with our lives, compassion, and connection. Israel needs healthy Jews!
- Natural Israel (Sunday) invites you to replace Israel’s current images of pain and fear with images of purpose and health, even if just for a moment. The failed spies said Israel was “a land that preys on its people.” We join in the reaction of Yehoshua (Joshua) and Caleb (Caleb). “The land is very, very good!”
Many of the best ideas and advice from The Healthy Jew can be read in a book published this week in conjunction with Yeshivas Lev Hatorah: Land of Health: Israel’s War for Wellness.
The first part of Land of Health is based on Natural Israel’s post about the healthy bodies of Jews, the land of Israel.
Part 2 provides practical strategies for living a healthy life during difficult times, based on posts from Healthy Jews.
Finally, Land of Health introduces The Healthy Jew’s mission and programs to teach healthy Jewish living and discover Israel’s natural world.
Land of Health comes with dozens of stunning photos depicting healthy living throughout Natural Israel.
The book is available in bookstores throughout Israel, on Amazon, and directly from the author. Please extend your hand.
