Shalom!
You are warmly invited to join us at Mussar Kallah VI: Lifting the Barriers to Relationship, the sixth annual gathering of Mussar teachers, students and all interested in Jewish spirituality.
The Mussar Kallah provides a unique opportunity to learn from seasoned teachers who are ordinarily inaccessible and yet who are bearers of one of the finest traditions of spirituality in the Jewish world.
What's In It For Beginners
If you've been waiting to explore Mussar, the ancient Jewish examination of self and soul traits, the Kallah presents an unparalleled opportunity to do just that.
The Kallah has a stream just for beginners. No prior knowledge of Mussar is required. Every speaker will be focusing on issues that affect ordinary people in everyday life, because that is precisely what Mussar is meant to do. In bringing forward the teachings from this venerable tradition, the presenters will be creating bridges that will permit members of our generation to access and apply these time-tested gifts of tradition in our own lives.
During the Kallah, participants will be able to pick a soul trait and study it in depth with an esteemed teacher. Determine for yourself if you have too little or too much of each trait, and what you can do to move closer to the goal of wholeness (shlemut):
- Humility / Anavah
- Patience Savlanut
- Gratitude / Hakaras Hatov
- Compassion / Rachamim
- Order / Seder
- Equanimity / Menuchat Ha’Nefesh
Take the plunge and experience the opportunity. Register here.
