Your Mussar Journey Begins Here
Join us for a special Minnesota Mussar event — Thursday, March 19
Feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world? Join CCM for a night of solidarity and Mussar practice as we gather with Minnesota locals after Minnesota has faced months of occupation by federal law enforcement. Join us as we explore how Mussar informed our practice, our leadership, our teaching, our volunteering, our organizing. How do we find Tikkun in a time of transformation?
The Center for Contemporary Mussar renews spiritual practice and Jewish texts to transform relationships and awaken our profound responsibility for the other.
Here’s what you’ll receive when you choose to learn at CCM.
Mussar Text + Mussar Practice: “We will do and we will understand,” takes on a new meaning at CCM. Our classes emphasize both the study and the practice of Mussar as a lifelong endeavor. We discover the vibrancy of ancient texts as words come alive in our daily practice, bringing a renewed vibrancy to our relationships.
Supportive Community: A welcoming, close-knit community. Whether in-person, online or hybrid, all of our classes are small and intimate. Our students come from all walks of life and from all over to create a supportive environment. New life-long friendships blossom as we learn together, support each other through our challenges and celebrate the joy of our successes as we practice Mussar as a way of life.
Dedicated Teachers: Our faculty all started at the beginning and have experienced the profound change that CCM’s Mussar program can offer. Through training as madrichim and continuing supervision, they are dedicated and supportive of their students.
“Our Mussar study is providing me a ‘mindfulness’ alternative in a Jewish tradition. My desire to live an ever more meaningful life led me to search for a better understanding of God’s will for me. Mussar is satisfying my quest.” — John Ourisman
