Mussar: Spiritual Development

Awareness, wisdom, transformation - making every day holy.

Are you looking for a transformational Jewish practice? Mussar offers guidance for the journey of our lives as a spiritual practice aimed at elevating one’s character, or what Mussar calls “soul-traits” (middot). Practices include studying Mussar texts, meditation, exercises to apply at home, engaging in group discussions, and keeping a daily journal on the middot that practitioners work on as they grow toward becoming wiser, kinder, more skillful human beings.

To express interest in joining a Mussar group or to learn more, please email Rabbi Amy Hertz, Director of Congregational Learning.
