What is Mussar? Mussar is a Jewish tradition of ethical and spiritual practice that invites us to look inward, examine our habits, and cultivate the character traits that help us live with greater intention. Each session will focus on a particular middah, combining Jewish wisdom, conversation, personal reflection, and practical exercises for bringing these teachings into everyday life. The goal is not perfection, but growth: becoming more aware of ourselves, more thoughtful in our relationships, and more intentional about the people we are becoming.
