Land of Health by Shmuel Chaim Naiman
The Healthy Jew is an online publication about healthy Jewish living and Israel’s natural world, written by me, Shmuel Chaim Naiman, a health teacher and foraging guide based in Ramat Bet Shemesh, Israel.
After October 7, The Healthy Jew enlisted to defend the Jewish people – not to fight the war of bodies (with guns and tanks) or minds (online and in the media), but to combat fear, anxiety, stress, and negative drama. Our enemies want us to stop living, caring, and connecting. They want us to see Israel as the “land that eats its inhabitants.”
We win the war for wellness by practicing healthy Jewish living and appreciating Israel’s natural world. In this war, everyone is a soldier.
Land of Health by Shmuel Chaim Naiman
For the past 4 months, The Healthy Jew has been waging war with two free weekly newsletters:
- Healthy Jewish (Wednesday) shows you how to defeat terror with healthy Jewish living strategies that are particularly useful for times of crisis. We won’t allow the enemy to stop us from living, caring and connecting. Israel needs healthy Jews!
- Natural Israel (Sunday) invites you to exchange, if only for a moment, Israel’s current images of pain and fear with pictures of purpose and health. The failed spies said Israel is “the land that eats its inhabitants”; we’re joining Yehoshua (Joshua) and Calev’s (Caleb) response: “The land is very, very good!”
Now you can read many of The Healthy Jew’s best ideas and advice in new book, published this week together with Yeshivas Lev Hatorah: Land of Health: Israel’s War for Wellness.
The first part of Land of Health builds on Natural Israel’s posts about the healthy body of the Jewish people – the Land of Israel.
The second part, based on Healthy Jewish posts, offers practical strategies for healthy living during challenging times.
Finally, Land of Health presents The Healthy Jew’s mission and programs for teaching healthy Jewish living and discovering Israel’s natural world.
