Mindfulness through the Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar Friday, August 26 | 9:30 a.m.

Friday mornings, August 26 through January 6, 9:30 am – 10:30 am
Join us in person at the Joan and Ephraim Sales Community Center or on Zoom

We invite you to join us for this 20-week program, Mindfulness through the Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar, as we co-create a community of practice. Together we’ll learn about these wisdom teachings and the 18 soul traits of the Mussar through guided meditations, inquiry, and conversation.

This program is an opportunity to regenerate, and to live life with an awakened purpose. How do we impact the world, and how is the world impacting us? How do we repair/heal the world? How do we cultivate the radical, open-hearted courage that this requires?

Each community member will receive a copy of Everyday Holiness as a textbook for the program.

We ask that you show up for yourself, and that you will be an active participant in cultivating this community of care.

This journey is facilitated by temple member Faithe Raphael Haimer and members of the clergy.
