MODERN MUSSAR - How to be Happier, Kinder & More Content... No Kidding!

Mussar is the ancient Jewish practice of refining one’s middot, or character traits, with origins going back to ancient texts. For many years, studying character traits and good behaviors were often ignored in the traditional yeshivas in favor of Talmud/law study. The Modern Mussar movement was founded in Europe in response to a perception that Jews had become too focused on rote mitzvah observance at the expense of deliberate ethical behaviors. 

​

This class is already underway.  Anyone interested in joining should contact the office so we can connect you with the teachers and discuss the next steps!
