From Redemption to Responsibility: Spiritual Introspection During the Omer

Online classes take place May 16, 23 and 30 at 1 pm ET


The seders are finished. What happens now?


Welcome to our new class on spiritual introspection during the Omer. This is an auspicious time of the Jewish calendar between Passover and Shavuot and we hope you'll join us on an exciting journey.

To speak to the moment's themes of individual and communal freedom and obligation, we will explore the middot, or character traits, of generosity, responsibility and humility — through meditation, text study and journaling. We'll also touch on compassion, gratitude and chesed (generous acts of love and kindness). 

Inspired by the Mussar approach of working daily to improve and to integrate positive character traits into our lives, we will glean key teachings from Torah, rabbinic and Mussar texts to support our goal of leading a more deeply ethical and spiritual life, this year and beyond. 


No experience with Hebrew or Jewish texts necessary.
