Strengthening the Self (Mussar) Through the Psalms

Taught by Cantor Caro
Wednesdays, 12:00-1:15pm, in person and on Zoom
November 13, December 18, January 15, February 12, March 12, April 23, May 14

Mussar is a virtues-based approach to Jewish ethics and character development, giving us how to live a most meaningful and ethical life.

The Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 prayers, hymns, and meditations from Israel that are addressed to God, whose content expresses the breadth of the human experience of emotions.

In this monthly session, we will examine selections from the Book of Psalms that raise up various character traits (middot), offering us opportunities for personal growth and transformation through this Jewish lens.
