In this ongoing 6 session journey, we will WORK TOGETHER TO BECOME “A BETTER ME” using the wisdom of Mussar, a Jewish spiritual practice that gives practical instructions and reflections on how to live an ethical and meaningful life.
Our goal is to journey towards becoming an “extra-ordinary ordinary person”, a mensch. People of all backgrounds are welcome to join us. No experience necessary. Please be open to conversation and reflection.
Please register for all six sessions and plan on attending as many as possible.
