Health Care and Taking Care of the Body Lessons

We posted about this last July, but as the House of Representatives just passed a health care overhaul bill, the news remains full of stories about the health care situation in America. BabagaNewz.com has many classroom resources related to the Jewish value of shmirat haguf (taking care of the body). The Tevet 5769/January 2009 issue covered topics such as the connection between emotional and physical health, and the need for relaxation. The Sivan 5762 issue discussed exercise, sleep, and wellness.
