Are Jews healthier?
Question
Hello Rabbi My question to you is :- Is it a well known fact that Jewish people are more healthier and free from sickness than other people groups due to special Biblical diets and the worship of Jehovah Rapha the God who heals.
Answer
Shalom,
The Torah asserts that its dietary laws are spiritually beneficial but does not explicitly address their impact on physical health.
Regarding the second part of your question, it is evident that those who believe in God and adhere to His commandments often lead content and tranquil lives. Their resilience to many afflictions stemming from anger and worry is apparent.
