Did you know Judaism has its own guided path toward spiritual development and self-understanding? It is called Mussar, and it is an approach of self-awareness, self-understanding and personal development that is grounded in both deep reflection on Jewish texts and on spiritual practices that guide us toward greater control over our thinking and behaviors. We will look at modern and ancient texts as we seek to strengthen our ability to live our lives guided by our highest selves on the path towards greater spiritual health, healthier relationships and a deeper Jewish understanding of how we can live out our higher purpose.
