“Men’s Health: Stamina for Building Family Structure”

Greetings!

Man, I am super excited

to create this very first post on my website! In this post, I would like to simply share the outline for my interview I did with my Israelite brother and good friend, Dr. Yonaton Baruch. A board certified and clinical pathologist who shared insight, not just on his extensive background to medicine and health, he also shared with us his journey as a Torah Observer and how men’s health is vitally important as it relates building family structure.

Here are the links from that two part interview:
