Anti-Fascist Mussar: Jewish Radical Ethics III

Mondays - 3 Weeks
7-8:30 pm ET / 4-5:30 pm PT

September 1 · 8 · 15

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.
