Soveya is a non-profit organization providing educational and coaching services to adults, children, communities and schools regarding the issues of nutrition, wellness and obesity prevention.

Soveya was created by Rabbi Eli and Mrs. Zakah Glaser, both Certified Nutrition, Wellness, and Weight Management Consultants.  Soveya offers educational workshops, wellness seminars, employee training programs, teleconferences, Shabbatons, weight-loss camps, newsletters, CD’s, recorded inspirational messages, weight-loss coaching and nutrition consultation for adults, children and families.

We say in our Rosh HaShana prayers:
  "And inscribe (us) for a good life."

As we all know, a good life starts with good health. Good health starts with good eating - for proper nutrition is the fuel that gives our body it's energy, vitality and wellbeing to learn Torah and do mitzvos.

We beseech HaShem with all of our heart to judge us favorably this year - to give us life, a livelihood and peace of mind.

" . . . who will live and who will die . . . who will live in harmony and who will be harried . . . who will be impoverished and who will be enriched . . ."

But what's our part? Can we honestly ask HaShem to value us if we don't value the body He gave us to function in this world? Are we going to return home after a long day of davening only to lose ourselves in the meal awaiting us?

We have such a wonderful and immediate opportunity to back up our words of prayer through deeds of action by enjoying the special yom tov foods while still eating appropriate amounts that leave us healthy and invigorated, not bloated and fatigued.

How many of us have risen to such elevated spiritual heights, only to fress our way to a freefall of indulgence minutes later? It doesn't have to be that way this year. We can ask for a good life from HaShem at shul and show we mean it through our actions at the dining-room table at home.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy new year!
