Whole Health Forum 2017

Photography by Nancy Adler

“I have attended these type of things before but never ever has the energy and goodwill been so loving. Pashut me’od! It possessed a NESHAMAH of its own which no other place in the world that I have been a part of possessed. Caring Jewish people together creating a community of Love for one another in a healing environment.  I am so heart warmed and moved by everyone’s generosity of giving and loving, both teachers and participants alike.  This is such a great Forum for teaching macrobiotics.  Baby steps.  Everyone I spoke to–and I spoke to many, being the official “Gopher Girl Friday”–was interested in Macrobiotics.”

“It was an amazing event! The organization went smoothly and everything was easy going with a great atmosphere, wonderful people and excellent food! Can’t wait to be part of this brilliant venue next time! Thank you Ginat and Sheldon.”

— Adi Assodri

“As presenter and practitioner at the Whole Health Forum, I found my experience magnetic. I live in Jerusalem and had only planned to attend part of the time. But life had other plans. I kept getting drawn back to the Forum to be with the people and to gain more wisdom about life and our bodies. Also—the food was inspiring!”

— Jeff Goldstein
