In these times of rising fascism, Jewish people and organizations are trying to find the moral compasses that will lead us through. The prophetic voices of Tanakh, the strength of committed Jews, the storytelling power of midrash are all currently being used to hold our hope. But what of blatant political statements traditional to Judaism?
The Mussar movement is a Jewish ethical and educational movement filled with a variety of practices meant to focus moral conduct within spiritual paths. Many of these early Mussar leaders living at the heights of the Industrial Revolution's dehumanizing power spoke about worker's rights, mutual aid, and community power in ways that still resonate today.

This class will be recorded and available to enrolled students to watch later.
Cost
This course is available at a sliding scale cost of $126 (the true cost), $99 or $72.
If you can afford the full price, we hope you will choose that option, which allows us to continue to offer lower rates and scholarships to those who otherwise would not be able to access this learning because of financial barriers.
If you need financial aid beyond the sliding scale, please fill out this simple form, and we will get right back to you.
