  • First Session of Strengthen Your Steps: Jewish Guide to Ethical Living with WHC

    HIGHLINE RxR 2010 Crystal Drive Arlington, VA 22202 , United States

    For generations, the Jewish practice of mussar has helped guide people to a greater understanding of who they are and, more importantly, who they can be. Every other week, we'll come together as a whole group to learn and share ways we can cultivate inner qualities like acceptance, generosity, forgiveness, and gratitude. During the Òoff weeks,' you will meet with assigned study partners to explore and discuss Jewish texts. Using Ruchi Koval's Soul Construction: Shape Your Character Using 8 Steps from the Timeless Jewish Practice of Mussar as the starting point, Rabbi Rachel Schmelkin leads this 10-week group through a series of practices to strengthen your ethical and spiritual self.

    The group will meet in person during Mondays@Macomb every other week, and in the off weeks will arrange for independent small group sessions on their own.

    Cost is $150 for WHC Members, $175 for Non-Members.
    Cost Range: 150 - 175

Together, we will explore how listening, thought, word, and deed reflect and shape the fullness of who we are. Drawing on Jewish texts, soulful chant, and accessible mindfulness practices, each class invites you to notice, awaken, and align your inner and outer lives with greater intention.

    The series culminates with an optional Shabbaton (retreat) on Saturday, November 22, at JBSC, where we will have a Shabbat of practice and study. Together, we'll bring awareness to our senses and connect the six days of creation to the ongoing cre
