Discover Mussar: A Path to Everyday Holiness

A Three-Part Adult Learning Series on Jewish Spiritual Growth

What is Mussar? As Alan Morinis, founder of The Mussar Institute, teaches, Mussar “…is more accurately described as a way of life that leads to realizing our highest spiritual potential.” 

Join Jewish educator and Mussar facilitator Susan Schwartz for an engaging three-part introduction to this wise Jewish tradition. Together we will explore core teachings and practices designed to nurture personal growth, deepen self-awareness, and help us bring greater holiness and intention into the everyday moments of our lives.
