Abstract

The article explores the life and impact of Moshe Feldenkrais, a Jewish figure in the modern health movement. Feldenkrais developed a method known as Awareness Through Movement, which focuses on the mind-body connection and aims to help individuals gain control over compulsions and become better versions of themselves. His work with Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion, including teaching him to do a headstand, exemplifies his approach to wellness. Feldenkrais's legacy continues to influence wellness practices today, emphasizing individual freedom and personal improvement rooted in Jewish tradition. [Extracted from the article]
