Land of Health: Israel's War for Wellness

Land of Health: Israel's War for Wellness

Since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, Israel and the Jewish people have been fighting on three critical fronts. The army fights the war of bodies. - Leaders and journalists fight the war of minds. - Every Jew, everywhere, is fighting the war for wellness. Fear, stress, and uncertainty weigh on us all. The endless cycle of news, worry, and anger can drain our resilience. But if we don’t care for our physical, emotional, and spiritual health, we risk losing the strength we need to stand with Israel and its future. Land of Health was written to help you win your personal war for wellness. Rooted in Jewish tradition and the unique connection between the people and the Land of Israel, this book will guide you to greater strength, peace, and meaning, both in times of crisis and beyond. Inside, you’ll discover: The profound connection between the Land of Israel and Nation of Israel — how the Land is the healthy body for the Nation's soul. - Practical, real-world strategies for thriving in difficult times — covering nutrition, movement, emotional resilience, faith, and more. - Stunning full-color photography that captures Israel’s beauty, strength, and spirit—even in its darkest days. Even after the war ends, the wounds — physical, emotional, and spiritual — will take time to heal. This book will help you stay strong, grounded, and connected through it all. Now more than ever, Israel needs healthy Jews who love and value their Land.
