The Mussar masters emphasized the need for personal spiritual practice and for that we will lead sessions to teach and practice meditation, contemplation and visualization. But they also stressed the importance of learning and action, and so the contemplative sessions will be interspersed with sessions focused on the <i>middah</i> [soul-trait] of <i>nosei b’ol im chaveiro</i> [bearing the burden with your friend] and <i>rachamim</i> [compassion] as well as <i>chevruta</i> and group interaction. This Kallah will provide comprehensive tools to introduce and guide you in the Mussar ways to cultivate the soul in the context of community, inwardly and outwardly.</span><span title="">Sessions will be experiential, include text s
tudy and offer practical lessons that can be taken home to enhance and deepen your spiritual life and practice of Mussar.</span></p>

One does not need to be an expert, however. Every speaker will focus on issues that affect ordinary people in everyday life, because that is precisely what Mussar is meant to do</span>.</p>
