As we get older in age, muscular stiffness is probably one of the prevalent conditions that most of us experience during or after any physical exertion. And a lot us, including yours truly, will probably try to deny the onset of this condition for as long as we can because it might be hard to accept the fact that our muscles may not be up to the task that they were just a few years ago. It is here that yoga comes into the picture. A lot of stretching exercises overlap with yoga, but yoga, in my opinion goes one step further because some of the poses such as, the warrior pose, incorporate stretching and strengthening, when done in the correct method. The long-term effect of yoga on an injury-free running regimen is indeed substantial. Just try it.
In recent times, Israel's Ministry of Immigrant Absorption had devised a campaign in the U.S. to urge Israeli expats to the homeland. The campaign ran a series of video advertisements and billboard implying that the expats lost touch with their Jewish identity and had to be rehabilitated into the Jewish creed. The ads questioning the Jewish-ness of American Jews was found "offensive", "insulting", and "outrageous" by several American Jewish organizations. The Ministry pulled the campaign this week in the wake of public outcry against the ads.
