Healthy Days Ahead – part I

Promoting Health

Last month I attended the Jewish Communal Service Association (JCSA) conference. This group of dedicated professionals whose wildly diverse yet firm dedication to Judaism guides their lives and professions, always energizes me. The conference’s theme was Our Value(s) @ Work: In the Field, With Each Other, and For Ourselves.

I was fascinated by the decision to devote the lunchtime panel to a discussion of health issues from varied perspectives. Health issues? Not marketing, collaborative management, understanding generational shifts, or any host of other concepts that would affect most, if not all, of the attendees? Actually for a group of hundreds of dynamic Jewish professionals focusing on values, nothing could have made more sense! While the discussion included key points about social corporate responsibility, the bottom line was that corporations / institutions / employers who are committed to Jewish values should put their policies where their mouths are. Once we acknowledge the Jewish mandate to care for our bodies… our policies, as Jewish day schools, MUST facilitate good health.
