"Just wanted you to know that I got the book a few weeks ago and I am up to chapter 6 (my wife is slightly ahead on chapter 7!). I love all the Torah you wove in — we are committed to making serious dietary and lifestyle changes. Thank you!!!”

"Even though I might not yet be able to follow every piece of wisdom this book has to offer, I am more conscientious of my eating habits, and have seen quite an improvement to my general health."

"As one who has worked in health transformation for five decades, I’m deeply impressed by the detail and smooth integration of Torah and contemporary medicine the authors so beautifully brought together. A look at our food challenges, the Torah view on exercise, even helping our children develop healthier eating habits, are all described in positive and helpful ways. Let’s not leave out another pillar of health described so well, our sleep, which also has Torah commentary."
Batya Medad, Jewish Grandmother Blog

Review by Michael Mantell, Ph.D.

A rabbi and a medical doctor have teamed up to write Body & Soul: The Torah Path to Health, Fitness and a Holy Life.

Jewish tradition has 3,000 years of wisdom on this subject but until now it has been scattered across many books, most of which have never been translated. In partnership with doctors and dietitians, Body & Soul includes current medical information (with references to medical literature) on what is known about nutrition, exercise, weight loss and longevity, as well as related topics such as environmental toxins.

Body & Soul is a provocative and motivational book which for the first time brings together hundreds of Jewish sources (translated into English) about health and well being, along with the most recent, reliable, evidence-based science of food, diet, nutrition, exercise, and much more to aid in leading a vibrant and balanced life.

The book highlights the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well being, with practical information and tips, including:

●  Addressing special Jewish food challenges
●  Creating a balanced diet and conquering a sweet tooth
●  A Torah view of exercise
●  Helping children develop healthy habits
●  The importance of sleep
●  A Jewish view of intermittent fasting
