Healthy in Body, Mind and Spirit – Based on the Teachings of The Lubavitcher Rebbe

In Jewish culture, life and health are cherished above almost everything else. Everyday expressions, greetings, and blessings reflect a deep concern not only for physical well-being, but for a balanced and meaningful life. This book explores that perspective through the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, one of the most widely consulted spiritual leaders of modern times.

Healthy in Body, Mind and Spirit presents a carefully selected collection of the Rebbe’s guidance on physical and mental health, drawn from letters, public talks, and personal responses to individuals seeking advice. This first volume addresses general health concerns, while later volumes focus on more specific physical and emotional challenges.

The Rebbe’s approach is holistic yet practical. He recognized the close connection between body, mind, and spirit, while clearly distinguishing between medical treatment and spiritual support. Medical issues, he insisted, must be addressed through proper professional care, with spiritual practices serving as encouragement rather than substitutes.

Thoughtful, balanced, and deeply humane, this book offers insight, reassurance, and perspective for anyone interested in a holistic approach to health grounded in wisdom, responsibility, and compassion.
