GATES OF EVERYDAY HOLINESS

Gates of Everyday Holiness contains more Hebrew than Seeking Everyday Holiness as well as chevruta study materials.

The Jewish tradition of Mussar offers the Jewish world a deep and rich experience of spirituality. In this introductory program, participants are brought into a deep exploration of the nine most important soul-traits or middothumility, patience, order, equanimity, honor, truth, moderation, responsibility and trust. It is our consistent experience that the wisdom of Mussar helps people develop awareness and wisdom for living and often leads to spiritual transformation. The text is the inspiring book, Everyday Holiness, by Alan Morinis, Founder of The Mussar Institute. Based on the text, participants are guided through a weekly study of one middah. Through discussions in a safe, small group of like-minded seekers, led by a facilitator trained by The Mussar Institute, participants explore and create their own personal life curriculum.
