Living Responsibly

From among the letters of approbation and blessing:

My friend HaRav HaGaon R' Yirmiyohu Abramov,
shlita and his wife, are one of the greatest
people in our generation who bring the many to
righteousness. They have written a book "Living
Responsibly", that we have to value the gift of life
that we have received from Hashem Yisborach, and
it is our responsibility to safeguard our bodies
in health, so that we can serve Hashem Yisborach
for long days and years "Bebriyus Gufa Venehora
Maaliya" - with a healthy body and elevated
enlightenment. The Rambam wrote at length
about this in Hilchos Dayos and in Hilchos Shemiras
Haguf VeHanefesh and it is certainly a great
mitzvah. All of our Sages were careful in these
matters "VeAmina LePaala Tava Yishar" - and they
are trusted to conduct themselves correctly and
the merit of many depends on them.

May it be His Will that this book will be well
received and will encourage and awaken both
the public and the individual to strengthen
themselves in these matters and to safeguard the
value of our holy lives, so that we will merit to
serve Hashem Yisborach in joy and contentment
with healthy souls and with healthy bodies...
HaGaon Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Karp, shlita
Kiryat Sefer

I join the above concerning the law of "VeNishmartem
etc.," that it is an obligation to stay away from
things that endanger the body and the soul, and
the author did well to put these matters in writing.
HaGaon Rabbi Azriel Auerbach, shlita
Rabbi of "Chaniche HaYeshivot"
Bayit Vegan, Jerusalem

I too signed below join the words of the Gaonim
Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Karp, shlita and
the words of my brother-in-law Rabbi Azriel
Auerbach, and knowledge and health should
increase in Am Yisroel, a holy nation to the glory of
the Torah and those who study it.
HaGaon Rabbi Yitzchak Zilberstein, shlita
Rabbi of Ramat Elchanan, Bnei Brak

My dear friend HaRav Yirmiyohu Abramov who
is one of the greatest people who have merited
to bring the many to righteousness has already
merited to write important books together with
his wife the Rebbetzin. These books on the topic
of Kibbud Av VeAim and Tznius, have been well
received and many have greatly benefitted from
them. Now they merit to publish a great and
precious pearl on the topic of the obligation to
safeguard one's physical and spiritual health.

Our Sages have taught greatly about the
mitzvah for a person to conduct himself in
a correct manner and to safeguard his body
which is the sanctuary of the soul, as is
explained by the Rambam in several places.
I am certain that this book too will bring great
benefit to all those who read it, and my blessing
is that they merit, for a long time to come,
to bring merit to the public in serenity and
contentment...
HaGaon Rabbi Asher Zelig Weiss, shlita
Av Beis Din and Rosh Yeshivah, "Darchei Torah"

I have read the book "Living Responsibly"
by HaRav Yirmiyohu and Rebbetzin Tehilla
Abramov. The authors present the various
components of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The book contains both Torah sources, as to
the mandates of healthy living that serve as the
foundation of each chapter, and the scientific
and medical facts that project those Torah
mandates into modern society....

I commend the authors on a quality
presentation of this extremely important
subject and pray that Hashem bless them
and their family with life, health, and the
wherewithal to continue to benefit the
community in their many and varied ways....
