Intro to Mussar with Rabbi Evette
Wednesday, Nov 6th 7:00p to 8:30p
The Practice of Mussar is a Jewish approach to living and behaving ethically via character improvement. We use accessible tools, called middot – character traits by which we measure our growth. By studying these traits and the suggestions of the Mussar masters, we come to a better understanding of why we sometimes behave in a manner out-of-sync with who we believe ourselves to be.
