DESCRIPTION

Based on Everyday Holiness by Alan Morinis, Everyday Holiness is a course for personal learning and practice, with individualized guidance and group interaction available through a moderated online forum. This comprehensive course offers a deeper understanding of the Mussar discipline and put its methods to work in your life for a lasting change. Learning and practicing Mussar requires guidance and support of a kind not easily found today.

“Every one of us is assigned to master something in our lives. You have already been given your assignment and you have already encountered it, though you may not be aware that what faces you is a curriculum, nor that this is the central task of your life.” From Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar by Alan Morinis

CONTENT, FORMAT, and METHODS

The course includes 15 online lessons covering 13 soul traits or middot. Self-paced, each lesson may be worked on for a minimum of one week and a suggested maximum of three weeks, which means the course will run from 15-45 weeks.

Each lesson consists of:

In addition, you’ll receive:
