This year we are continuing our effort of engaging in various practices to cultivate wholesome qualities of heart and mind. This process is also known as Tikkun Middot. This program is meant to help us positively develop qualities of the heart and mind. Through it we will explore practices of mindfulness, study, hevrutah and daily practice with the aim of understanding and strengthening important ethical/soul traits. Bnai Keshet has the honor of being one of a dozen Jewish communities who will be implementing this curriculum sponsored by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Each month we will be inviting you try out simple exercises to help you grow in that month's middah. The goal of such exercises is to bring unconscious thoughts and feelings into awareness, thus making choice possible. If continued over time such practices can also make desired behaviors more habitual. This year we have separate monthly classes on Monday nights for both those new to Tikkun Middot and those that want to continue where they left off last year.

New class starting in November:
