What does it mean to care for the whole person—body, mind and soul? For Dr. Yakir Kaufman, that question lies at the heart of both medicine and Jewish life. A longtime Chabad chassid and respected neurologist, Dr. Kaufman has spent decades exploring brain health, longevity, and the connection between physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
His career has included senior leadership at Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, while his lectures bring together scientific research, Torah, Chassidus, and the Rebbe’s teachings on purpose, joy, faith and responsibility.
At the Amechaye Health Retreat, November 8–12 at the Ruth Safed Hotel in Tzfat’s Artists’ Colony, Dr. Kaufman will present two sessions. “Protecting the Brain” will offer practical strategies for preserving memory, concentration and cognitive health, including the roles of nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress reduction and meaningful relationships. His second lecture, “Integrative Medicine,” will explore how modern medicine and Torah wisdom can work together, including the roles of hope, gratitude, prayer, community and purpose.
This is an opportunity to hear a physician whose expertise and Chabad outlook meet naturally: caring for the body while strengthening the soul. The five-day retreat for English speakers also features Sivan Rahav-Meir, Dudu Fisher, Dr. Racheli Shapira distinguished cancer researcher alongside nourishing meals, movement, relaxation and time to recharge. https://swiy.co/Amechaye
