In periods of uncertainty, Mussar can be a practice that helps us see more clearly and not merge with our sense of despair. Join Rabbi Joshua Boettiger for a four session immersion where we will explore this ancient lineage tradition – studying middot (precepts) and practices from the Mussar masters. In each session, we will also read and compose poetry related to Mussar themes – poetry of proximity, relationality, perplexity, responsibility.
We will look at poems that not just describe but embody encounter itself, such as poetry written by people we might think of as ‘other' and poetry in which the poem itself directly speaks to the reader.
