Introduction to Mussar: a Mini-Course with Rabbi Jim Rosen
Thursday, May 15th 2:00p to 3:00p
The Mussar movement is a little-known gem that emphasizes the ethical aspects of Judaism. This Jewish experience was largely destroyed by the Nazis, but today it is enjoying a renaissance as many have discovered that its ideas and techniques provide meaningful pathways in life. Please join Rabbi Rosen to learn more about this spiritual practice and dive into the Jewish world of character building, personal ethics, and communal responsibility. Click in to register!
