Mussar is a study of ethics. It is about teaching one how to be a better person. Although Mussar may teach ethics from a Jewish perspective, the values studied are not unique to Judaism. They are broadly espoused by all religions: love your neighbor as you would love yourself, show humility, be patient, practice generosity, value simplicity, maintain order, express gratitude and compassion. Initially, study is carried out individually then followed by a group discussion. The third element is implementation, being mindful of one’s own strengths and deficiencies regarding the studied virtue. The fourth element is self-reflection. Ask, yourself, “How did I do?” One is encouraged to keep a diary in which one records these observations. This class will encompass study and discussion. Implementation and self-reflection is personal. At each class, we discuss a virtue, its significance, and the consequences of practicing too much or too little of it. We will explore how one can personally apply the virtue to everyday experience and bring it into mindfulness.
