Find the joy and peace that comes with a Mussar Meditation practice

Led by CCM’s Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Joshua Boettiger, Mussar Meditations are a free weekly opportunity to stay grounded in your Mussar practice or find a spiritual connection in your daily lives. Simply come together in community and sit with us.

“Mussar is fundamentally a mindfulness practice; that is, in order to truly practice Mussar, one needs to be ever more aware of what is actually happening – not just immediately responding to projections, fears, and entitlements. I’ve long thought that some sort of meditation practice is necessary as a precursor to practicing Mussar, but increasingly I feel like it’s even more than that – in some ways, Mussar is what meditation looks like when one leaves the cushion and enters the realm of relationship. All are welcome to join me on Wednesday mornings. We’ll begin with a short teaching, and then sit together for about fifteen minutes. There is no charge, whether you’re connected to CCM or not – come whenever you like.”

“[Rabbi Boettiger} uses his own flavor of love and kindness to meet the seasonal moments of the Jewish calendar and torah readings. He reminds us that the gates are always open and our ethical choices matter deeply.”
