How can you make your Mussar practice life-giving, sustainable, and rewarding? ❦ Conversation #5

START HERE: https://mussar.center There are some places in the Bible where the verb behind the Hebrew word "mussar" is translated as punishment, and in once place it's even translated as flogging! So what is Mussar, anyway - is it discipline or punishment? Is there even a difference between the two? If yes, what's the difference? What was your experience growing up, were you disciplined or punished? And how about now, which do you tend towards in how you relate to yourself? Are you too hard or too easy on yourself? These are some of the questions we'll explore in today's conversation, along with the most important question - how are you like a puppy, and how should that inform your personal Mussar practice?

P.S. It's been five lessons! If everyone donates a dollar a lesson we'll be able to keep teaching for free. Please do what you think everyone else should do and send in a little something here, now: https://mussar.center Thank you!
