SOVEYA is a non-profit organization offering confidential counseling,  educational programs, teleconferences, seminars, and newsletters for the Jewish community regarding compulsive eating, obesity prevention and the Torah obligation to eat right and take proper care of our bodies. 

SOVEYA raises awareness about compulsive overeating and obesity and the urgent need to address the situation. We know first hand how difficult it is to regain a healthy relationship with food; to lose the weight as well as the daily obsession.

SOVEYA was created by Rabbi Eli and Mrs. Zakah Glaser specifically for fellow Jews who have found frustration and failure with various diet and weight-loss programs. Our approach is based on Torah principles for personal growth and healthy eating as well as proven tools adapted from recovery programs for compulsive behaviors.  The Glasers both struggled with overeating for many years, and have personally benefited from this type of method. They understand the central role food plays in the Jewish community and the particular challenge that it creates for many of us.
