The Spiritual Practice of Mussar
Shirah Bell
Mussar, a centuries-old Jewish practice of spiritual self-examination, provides guidance in identifying your uniquely personal path of spiritual growth as well as tools to help bring about that growth. Utilizing text study, meditation, visualization, and journaling, we will explore questions such as: Why do I keep making the same mistakes over and over? Why do I cause pain to myself and others? What steps can I take to bring my life closer to my spiritual potential? What lessons can I learn from the experiences of previous generations? We’ll focus on the fundamental soul trait of humility as a vehicle for developing a Mussar practice to be continued after the class.
Shirah Bell, a Certified Spiritual Director, serves on the board of The Mussar Institute (TMI). She directs TMI’s basic course offering, Everyday Holiness, and leads local Mussar classes, as well as mentoring individuals in Mussar and spirituality.
