spiritual componenet

How could I forget!? Our spiritual component for Keystone was due today.  I wrote about the Jewish value of a healthy body. I found myself so intrigued by what the Talmud, Mishenh Torah and modern rabbis had to say about the value of physical activity. To my surprise, exercise is more then just a modern day fad but a Torah commandment. I think that this is really cool- I am not only  exercising to increase my health and increase my strength, but also, by exercising I am able to walk in more in the image of God (imitatio dei).
