Mussar offers a framework and a toolkit for translating the wisdom of kabbalah (specifically the sefirot of the Tree of Life) into a personalized, ongoing spiritual discipline – harnessing the midot in service of others. In this series of nine classes, Rabbi Jamie Arnold will facilitate this transformative group using two primary sources: 1) An introduction to mussar by Alan Morinis called “Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar;” 2) a new book by Rabbi Toba Spitzer that explores metaphors for the Divine from nature through a mussar lens called “God is Here: Reimagining the Divine.” The qualities we will focus on in order to grow our capacity for sacred service will be silence (sound), compassion and trust (rock).
Required Text: God is Here: Reimagining the Divine by Rabbi Toba Spitzer
Suggested Text: Everyday Holiness: the Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar by Alan Morinis
Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

We were devastated to wake up on October 7 to learn about Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel.
We are clear on the following: Kabbalah Experience stands with Israel and all who suffer.
Hamas is a terrorist group, with the goal of destroying Israel and the Jewish people.
And Israel has the right to defend herself.
May our leaders and people recognize what we teach: There is no space devoid of you. Dlayt Atar Panui MeenayAll humankind comes from the source of One-ness. Borders are human constructs, created for keeping people in, and keeping people out.
May we recognize humanity, suffering, pain and loss, unfairness, trauma, helplessness, and all of the complicatedness of life.
Being silent is complicit.
Let us work together for peace and healing.
May we all find peace and wholeness through this traumatic time.
with hope,
