The Mussar tradition emphasizes the refinement of one’s personal attributes and the development of middot, or spiritual qualities, such as humility, patience, gratitude, equanimity and others. In this series, we will explore the weekly Torah portion through the lens of Mussar and the teaching of classic Mussar texts and teachers. Each week we will explore the Torah portion from the vantage point of a particular middah (soul trait, or quality).
No previous Mussar experience is necessary. All texts will be presented in English translation.
This eight-session Monday morning class takes place from 10-11:30 a.m. on Oct. 28, Nov. 2, 11, 18, 25, Dec. 2, 9, 16.
