Ben-Gurion's personal trainer
He was the first Jew to get a black belt in judo. He invented an internationally popular form of exercise, and he taught an aging prime minister to stand on his head. But Moshe Feldenkrais, whose centennial is being celebrated this summer, was not an easy person. His "disciples" recall his idiosyncrasies - and his genius.

Eshkol: "He was very beautiful and peaceful. I was with him the whole night. I lay on the floor next to him and that's how I said good-bye to him because I don't like funerals. He wanted very badly not to die. He wasn't prepared to die until he knew the secret of gravity. When he was sick, in his last days, he was treated by a regular physiotherapist from the hospital, there was no Feldenkrais. I love him and miss him very much. He was a nice schlepper. He really wanted to have a school in Israel, but they didn't make him one."
