Healthy Habits

There’s an old phrase, “The way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.” We are pretty sure that no one really wants to eat an elephant, even if it were kosher, but the saying is an important one. Really large tasks, even unpleasant ones, begin with the first step and then the second step. Those steps, when repeated, form habits. Healthy habits are a small change that can improve your entire life.

Follow Aaron, Binyamin, Chava, Devora, and Elisheva as they navigate everyday life — and learn healthy habits to transform it for the better!
