Cheshbon haNefesh (a soul accounting) Isn't just for the Holy Days
 
Mussar study is the continuation of how to do an accounting year-round. It is a centuries old toolbox for working on oneself, focusing on character traits grounded in Jewish values. These traits help us be present for ourselves and the others around us with greater joy.
 
Join with a community of like-minded learners in exploring one of life's most fundamental questions, if everyone knows what it means to be good, why is it so hard?
