FJMC Wellness Warriors

Wellness Warriors is a special FJMC International program designed to encourage Jewish men to take action steps towards improving their health. For the past several decades, there has been increasing awareness of a gap in our organization regarding health and fitness. We have decided to take a more engaged role in promoting both education about and opportunities for wellness improvement for our members.

Preserving health is a central Jewish value and we are eager to make this a higher priority for men. This challenge is a call to get more active, through walking, jogging, running, biking, yoga, strength training, swimming or whatever helps you to take the next step in improving your health. We are encouraging people to seek sponsors to help keep them accountable and as a form of encouragement for your efforts.

The money will support further health and wellness initiatives, regional programs and the mission of the Obesity Action Coalition, the nation’s top advocacy group for the treatment and rights of those with obesity, one of our primary targets for improvement.

Your involvement with this challenge will be the kickoff for a full series of offerings for those in FJMC to build a supportive community of learners and doers in terms of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. Our broader program is called L’Chaim! and it is here to improve all of our lives. We look forward to you participating in Wellness Warriors and all the offerings we will be rolling out in 2026. To life!
