What People Say About our Courses

“Mussar offers guidance and action to anyone willing to step up. I searched for many decades for that “something” that would assist me in discovering and Reawaken what I need to be doing to be a useful person ... I was hooked right then.” 

Elizabeth Czhubirka-Percival 

“Engagement in Mussar has enhanced my life and I think that others at least deserve to know that it exists, is easily accessible and may be nourishing for them as well.” 

Jill Maidhof 

“I think it's so valuable to study the middot and try to improve ourselves. I really hope Mussar catches on in a big way ... so needed.”

Advanced Online Learning Platform

Most of our courses are delivered through Makor, our online learning platform. It is easy to use and stores all your course materials in one place. Va'adim (small groups) meet in Zoom sessions, convened by your facilitator.

Some Jewish organizations offer TMI courses or programs in-person. HERE are several programs that may be purchased by organizations.

How is Mussar Studied?

With a Partner

Chevruta or partner study is a key component as both partners work their way through a text and work to connect the heart with the mind through sharing and dialogue.

Small Group

Va'ad study occurs in small groups of 8-10 people guided by a trained TMI facilitator. The va'ad actively creates a sacred space where members feel safe to share vulnerability and try on new ideas.
