The concept of middot or “soul traits” inspires a deeper exploration of our inner lives and how we bring Jewish values into our practical daily lives. Working with this traditional Jewish ethical and spiritual practice, we will identify and create new pieces exploring our personalities and spiritual identities. No previous writing or Mussar experience required.
