תורה מביאה רפואה לעולם

In memory of his father,
Sir Michael Levin
As we embark on the journey of improving your health, it’s crucial to broaden your perspective beyond just physical interventions like diet, exercise, medication and medical treatments.
In my medical practice, when I address patients’ physical health, I also speak about their feelings about life’s situations. Embracing a holistic approach, I explain that each person has three important aspects: character, intellect, and speech.
Maimonides, a Rabbi and physician, teaches us in his work “Hilchot Deot” (Laws of Character) that a person should periodically evaluate and develop one’s character and behavior. Everyone is different in how they approach life’s challenges. One person may engage in brave activities, while another might be timid to try anything new. This behavior exists on a continuum, with the middle path—trying new things after careful consideration—being the most desirable.
By refining our character, we enhance our physical and mental well-being, fostering harmony between our spiritual purpose and the environment we live in. Harmony translates into health, while disharmony translates into disease. Thus, it’s essential to avoid extremes in most character traits and to aim for a life of moderation.
Intellect and wisdom depend on our learning; the more we learn, the more we stimulate our brain, which is necessary for its development. The ultimate goal of learning is to gain knowledge of God Almighty, the Creator of the world.
Speech is described by its content of good and bad. It is divided into five types of speech and is evaluated by the outcome of its effect on the listener.
This website offers an overview of how you can evaluate yourself, and then I refer you to educational resources that provide recommendations to enhance your life. These methods are inspired by the leadership and advice of The Lubavitcher Rebbe.
For more in-depth information on these topics, please look throughout this website. While this project offers an introductory glimpse, for a thorough understanding, I encourage consulting the source material—links are available on the Resources page.
