For generations, the Jewish practice of mussar has helped guide people to a greater understanding of who they are and, more importantly, who they can be. Every other week, we’ll come together as a whole group to learn and share ways we can cultivate inner qualities like acceptance, generosity, forgiveness, and gratitude. During the “off weeks,” you will meet with assigned study partners to explore and discuss Jewish texts. Using Ruchi Koval’s Soul Construction: Shape Your Character Using 8 Steps from the Timeless Jewish Practice of Mussar as the starting point, Rabbi Rachel Schmelkin leads this 10-week group through a series of practices to strengthen your ethical and spiritual self.

The group will meet in person during Mondays@Macomb every other week, and in the off weeks will arrange for independent small group sessions on their own.

Cost is $150 for WHC Members, $175 for Non-Members.

WHC Sustaining Members may be eligible to take this course for free. More Info
