SUMMARY:Mussar (2025-2026)
DESCRIPTION:What is Mussar? An ancient Jewish way of learning and living to help us grow into our very best selves. Mussar teachs that the soul is the primary essence of who we are and we do not necessarily experience our inner lives in this way. Instead\, we develop a belief that our selves\, our egos\, form our primary identity. In following the path of Mussar to build our inner lives\, we will learn to come to appreciate the difference between self and soul\, and especially to develop an understanding of the ideal relationship we can foster between these two dimensions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule6:45 – 7:15pm | Brownbag Nosh & Hevrutah Check-In7:15 – 7:50pm | Middah Debrief8:00 – 8:45pm | Deep Dive into Next Middah \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Mussar
