A few years ago I woke up and said, "Dang! I'm getting old, and ugly, and my body hurts more than it used to!" Consequently, I began to search through the literature and the traditions of Judaism to see what my ancestors had written about healing. I quickly realized that more has been said througout Judaism's long history than one individual could ever hope to reclaim. Nevertheless, I did find both general prinicples and specific advice and also bits of wisdom that seemed to speak directly to what I needed to know. What is contained in the writings that follow is my own summary of what I've learned from Judaism regarding how to live a long and healthy life. It is by definition a work in progress that will never be completed. Nevertheless, if you find something in it that is useful to you, so much the better. ENJOY!
