An Intermediate Program

Inner Ladder: Continuing Mussar Steps is the continuation program for those who have completed either Seeking Everyday Holiness or Gates of Everyday Holiness. It can also follow A Season of Mussar, but there will be some overlap in middot.

Groups continue to study as a va’ad, and also in chevruta study pairs, with a focus on six middot: generosity, enthusiasm, silence, compassion, lovingkindness, and gratitude.

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
