The world's growing fixation on fitness will no longer stop at religion. Kosher Gym in Jerusalem's Givat Shaul neighborhood, is a place for tzniut (modesty) and fitness. The gym's motto: At Kosher gym, we don't only cater to the fitness of your body - we worry about the well-being of your soul too. While Judaism opposes body worship, modern ideas about health and physique have left that idea a Read more
