		Jewish Science believes, based on classical Jewish thought, that God has provided people with a reservoir of health, and that people need to learn how to preserve it and restore it when it wanes.
		Since Jewish Science has no affiliation with any movement and feels its principles are applicable to all, followers may choose to attend their local synagogue, generally movement affiliated, in addition to Jewish Science services.

	The Torah-Science Debates - Torah & Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The support of science, the blind acceptance of the validity of scientific statements and the equation of science with truth (at least science and truth as they were perceived at the turn of the century) became an important thread in the fabric of modern Western Judaism.
		All science and all research are accepted as valid sources of truth and the Torah is stretched and twisted on the Procrustean bed of compromise to conform to the new discovery.
		Science and technology have so much to offer mankind; what a terrible waste that misconceptions and mistakes serve as a crutch for the non-observant and as an obstacle to those who want to return to the Torah.

		The authors' unique and provocative search for parallels, interactions, and relationships between science (particularly chemistry) and religion (Judaism) is liberally laced with wit and humor and accompanied by hundreds of varied and striking illustrations.
		Such contention is a time-honored method of Jewish debate by which rabbis and scholars in the yeshivot (religious academies) arrived at their interpretations of scripture, which were expressed in the Talmud, commentaries, codes, and responsa.
		Whereas in science nothing is exempt from question or scrutiny (e.g., Ostwald and other chemists questioned the actual existence of atoms as late as the first decade of the 20th century), in fundamentalist religion the existence of God or the sanctity of scripture is never questioned.

		Jewish Science originated as a response to Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science movement which, Lichtenstein felt, was making great inroads into the American Jewish community.
