Middah A Month continues on its path with a community of 150 people from across the United States and Canada. The texts are varied, the stories depict a middah in real life situations, and the recorded affirmations give you a concrete practice to incorporate into your daily routine. Our Middah A Month participants connect on www.madrega.com for insightful and probing discussions. If you are in between courses or need to be on a flexible schedule, the program is a perfect way to continue to maintain a flexible Mussar practice.

Indeed, this program is perfect for independent study. There is no facilitator and you receive all the materials once a month through email. You can decide how much of the curriculum to use, and when to study and practice. We will do our best to find a chevruta for you to enhance your experience.  Middah A Month is open to students who have completed one or more courses with The Mussar Institute or have a solid foundation in Jewish studies.

Many who have enrolled in the program say their decision has helped launch a Mussar spiritual practice they might never have otherwise undertaken.

Wrote one participant: “You inspired me to go to the website and look at some of the resources. I found the guidelines for Cheshbon Ha-Nefesh (or Accounting of the Soul journaling) very helpful. The tips for galvanizing the practice were very helpful. I also reviewed the recitation phrase guidelines” and found the reminders helpful “in a short and concise format.” 

Another participant said, “I am thoroughly enjoying this program.”

Best of all, you can join at any time. We look forward to having you on our journey. You can register or learn more here.
