After the dreadful attacks of October 7, 2023, Israel and the Jewish people went to war on three fronts. While the army fights the war of bodies, and government officials and journalists wage the war of minds, every Jew on earth is a soldier in our war for wellness.
We’re all combating fear, distraction, and stress. We’re all looking for meaning inside the madness. More than ever before, Israel needs healthy Jewish people who value and love their land.
Land of Health teaches how to win the war for wellness:
- Part One shows how the Land of Israel is the healthy body of the Nation of Israel, and appreciating that holds the solution to our current crisis.
- Part Two shares practical strategies for healthy living in challenging times. It covers all areas of life: eating, exercise, emotional health, and, of course, spirituality and faith.
Even after the guns go quiet — hopefully soon — the war for wellness will continue as our emotional and spiritual wounds slowly heal. Although our bodies will again be safe and secure, our disturbed souls will yearn for peace and balance. Land of Health will help us heal, as individuals and as a nation.
“Rabbi Naiman masterfully shows how every aspect of the physical Land of Israel expresses profound spiritual concepts — and teaches how to live within it. This book is filled with intriguing insights as well as practical suggestions for healthy living even under the most challenging conditions.” —Miriam Kosman, senior lecturer at Olami and author of Circle, Arrow and Spiral: Exploring Gender in Judaism
