Mussar is an ancient pathway within Judaism that has been reinvigorated in contemporary times. Here at Temple Emek Shalom, we have six ongoing groups that meet weekly to track this practice of “embodied Jewish ethics” in their lives, to hold each other accountable and to support one another with love.

In addition to this weekly meeting (va’ad), the groups gather as one collective to hear a shiur, or structured Torah teaching, once a week. This year’s theme for the shiurim is “Where Mussar and Mysticism Kiss.”
