Jewish Values Project 2022: Shalom

During the month of Elul, August 28–September 25, leading up to Rosh Hashanah, we begin a period of introspection. The study of mussar — a traditional Jewish practice of mindfulness — is an excellent way to prepare for the High Holy Days. As part of our Jewish Values Project: Ethics for Elul, each day, our clergy and educators will contemplate a middah, or character trait. Today's middah is shalom.
