Interested in exploring a spiritual practice based on values we are trying to live out in our lives? Mussar is a 1,000 year old Jewish spiritual practice, aimed at creating a better world. It includes individual practice, study with a partner and group reflection. Join Bonnie Zimmer on Zoom every other Friday morning from 8 -9 am October through December. More than 40 members of our congregation have already taken part in a Mussar program and this program will offer a place for newcomers and experienced folks alike.
ONLY IF YOU ARE NEW TO MUSSAR there will be a mandatory introductory session held on Zoom for 90 minutes on Friday October 2 from 8:00-9:30AM.
The regular program then begins October 9 with 60 minute Zoom sessions from 8:00-9:00AM. Please contact Bonnie if you have a conflict with any of the dates, as consistent attendance is important for your own learning and for the group.
In this program we will explore the soul-traits or “Middot” of Awareness, Enoughness/Contentment, Silence, and Joy! We will also explore how the addition of a Sabbath (“Shabbat”) practice might deepen and enhance our experience of Mussar. Shabbat experiences will be designed by the group and are totally optional.
Please register in advance here. Registration for this series closes on Wednesday, September 30.
PLEASE NOTE – REGISTRATION IS FOR ALL INSTANCES OF THIS GROUP (you cannot register for individual dates).
