Mussar Study Group with Rabbi Marcia Plumb

Service Description

Student Rabbi Anna has talked a lot about Mussar, and now is the time to learn more! Find balance with Mussar, an ancient Jewish method of character development. Learn how to shift unhealthy habits using Jewish texts and spiritual practices. Mussar helps calm us in stressful situations, and manage our thoughts and feelings with clarity. Each online session is a deep dive into Mussar, the Jewish practice of ethical and spiritual discipline. This online course meets across seven sessions to explore traditional texts and practical applications for daily life. This online course is led by excellent Mussar teacher and practitioner, Rabbi Marcia Plumb. Classes are live online on Thursdays, 6-7pm. and the recording available afterwards for catch up. You will also have access to the designated online discussion forum where resources will be shared and you can catch up on recordings of classes you may miss. Please note this is a course of 7 sessions, spread out between October and December 2026 - so it is not *every* Thursday; please pay special attention to the dates! For those totally new to Mussar, there will be a one-to-one with either Anna or Marcia beforehand to set up the basics. No Hebrew or prior Jewish knowledge needed.
