Check in and Mussar 9am on Shabbat Morning
Mussar is a Jewish spiritual practice that offers instructions on how to live a meaningful and ethical life. Mussar is based on the idea that by cultivating inner virtues, we improve ourselves. Mussar offers opportunities for personal growth through a Jewish lens.
Each Shabbat from 9:00 AM - 9:45 AM (before services), our participants check in to share the highlights of their week. Then we explore Mussar in depth using a range of texts thoughtfully chosen by Rabbi Ilana.
