Alon’s Relationship with HaShem, Torah, and Judaism

Coach Alon is a proud Baal Teshuvah, meaning he has been vigorously strengthening his relationship with HaShem and Torah after years of apathy and disconnection. Like many Jews, Alon found a renewed desire to connect with Judaism after the atrocities of the October 7th massacre against the Israeli people, as well as the subsequent anti-Jewish fervor that exploded throughout much of the secular world.

In short order, Alon found himself back in synagogue, watching YouTube videos about Judaism and inspirational Jewish individuals (shout-out to the Living L’Chaim channel!), and reading the TaNaKh cover to cover for the first time in his life. Through Torah, prayer and the practice of hitbodedut, Alon developed a deep gratitude for HaShem and His lessons, which has guided Alon to a true sense of purpose and meaning. Maccabee Confidence Through Fitness was founded by Alon as one of the ways he can give back to HaShem and ensure His people will have the strength and confidence to always stand tall for their Judaic faith and values.
