Instruction, resources & community for those seeking greater awareness, wisdom, and transformation through the Jewish spiritual path of Mussar.

 

Inner Ladder: Continuing Mussar Steps is the continuation program for those who have completed:

    • Seeking Everyday Holiness
    • Path of the Mensch
    • You Shall be Holy, or
    • Gates of Everyday Holiness

The Program

Groups continue to study as a va’ad and in chevruta, with a focus on six middot: generosity, enthusiasm, silence, compassion, lovingkindness, and gratitude. Each middah unit offers lesson outlines for the group facilitator following a similar format as Seeking Everyday Holiness, Path of the Mensch, You Shall be Holy or Gates of Everyday Holiness. You’ll receive:

    • A variety of texts from both modern and traditional Mussar sources
    • Discussion questions to help deepen your own understanding or to guide study with a partner
    • Extensive suggestions and guidance for a consistent personal Mussar practice
    • Short Mussar quotations to be used for reciting and chanting and to lead group discussions
    • Stories and personal experiences relating to each middah
