Introductory Essay by Rabbi Lisa L. Goldstein
The study and practice of Mussar have been growing across our Jewish communities in recent years. Lesser known is the reality that in addition to teachings on middot/soul traits, many of the great Mussar teachers also taught on the weekly Torah portions through the lens of Mussar.
Now the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) has published a wonderful new resource, The Mussar Torah Commentary, which brings a vastly broadened chorus of voices to those of the classic Mussar masters. Several members of our TMI faculty, staff and Chaverim authored chapters. They are listed here.
