Question

Answer

Answered by Chaim Yisrael Abadi

it is CYA ----------------------------- Rabbi, Isn't "keeping fit" mentioned by Rambam (and Gemarah in few places) as mandatory and doesn't one have to maintain a healthy body in order to serve hashem? If yes, why is sport considered Bittul Torah? Of Course, if one would engage in sports 8 hours a day.... but that was not the gist of the question as it was posed.
