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.

A presentation by Rabbi Joshua Stampfer, Co-founder of the Society for Crypto Judaic Studies. At the end of the 15th century, the Inquisition forced the Jews in Spain to leave or convert to Catholicism. Many of those who converted, or “conversos,” continued to practice their faith illegally and in secret. A large number of these conversos and crypto-Jews immigrated to Spanish American colonies where enforcement by the Inquisition was less stringent than in Spain. During periods of persecution by the Mexican Inquisition, crypto-Jews migrated to isolated frontier areas, including northern New Spain, which later became New Mexico.
