A Brief History of Mussar
“Mussar refers to a spiritual perspective and also to a discipline of transformative practices.”
The goal of Mussar practice is the refinement of character traits - or Middot. We look at how we handle the various middot like anger, humility, gratitude - to name a few and how they are helping or hindering us in our journey to be the best we can be with ourselves and others.
