The course will focus on learning Mussar texts to guide students to work on incorporating ethical principles in small everyday actions. Each class will focus on one middah, a character trait (e.g.-patience, respect, gratitude.) Students will share their practice, which will allow others to be inspired by their successes and gain a more compassionate perspective on common challenges. The class will accommodate new and returning students, with a mixture of new middot and revisiting previously studied texts for new insights. The class is based in Jewish texts and Jewish practice and the work is done through self-reflection and setting small goals. It provides a structure and opportunity to do the inner work of exploring and discovering each student’s moral fabric. Students will have a chance to discuss in small groups, and havruta pairs, the character traits that come naturally and character traits to work on to be their most holy, best self. This is a course that touches on heart and head. The course will be taught on
Zoom.
