<p><strong>WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO LEARN?</strong></p>
<p>The Mussar Kallah provides a unique opportunity to learn from seasoned teachers who are ordinarily inaccessible and yet who are bearers of one of the finest traditions of spirituality in the Jewish world. Rabbis Becker and Miller are American-born and so understand and can communicate with a contemporary audience. This is a rare opportunity to learn from these teachers as they all live in Israel and so are seldom available in North America.</p>
<p>Every participant comes away from the Mussar Kallah with:</p>
<p>* A deeper knowledge of the history of Jewish spiritual practice.<br />
* More clarity and appreciation for the wisdom of the Mussar tradition.<br />
* Better understanding of the play of forces in his or her own inner life.<br />
* Effective tools to apply that to help navigate the journey to holiness in the Mussar way.</p>
<p><strong>ADDITIONAL PROGRAM – MUSSAR SHABBATON</strong></p>
<p>This is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in Mussar for an entire weekend. The Shabbaton takes place immediately prior to the Mussar Kallah and is open to those who have completed at least one of our Mussar Courses or Season of Mussar program. The Shabbaton offers the opportunity to learn in an intimate and ritual-infused setting from many of the teachers who will also be coming to the Kallah.</p>
<p>At the Shabbaton we live, eat, pray and learn in intimate spiritual community. The teachers who will do sessions and presentations at the Kallah are our guides and companions as we share a relaxed, exploratory, devotional time together over food, prayer, song and discussion. The Sages say that Shabbat is “a taste of Heaven on Earth”. One way of understanding Heaven is as pure spirituality, and the Shabbaton is a taste of that experience.</p>
