Mussar: the Middah of Savlanut (Patience)

Please read pages 55 - 62 to understand the character trait of "Patience"

  1. What were the "seeds" that started to erode your patience today?

  2. Think of several good things that happened today.  What was your reaction to them in contrast to your moments of challenge?

  3. If you lost your patience today, is this something that you have lost your patience over previously? 

  4. If you were on the verge of losing your patience but didn't, what did you employ that worked?

  5. Were you able to use prayer or meditation to suffer through the circumstances?

  6. If you lost your patience today, describe how it happened.

  7. What causes you to lose patience most often?

The best way to define Mussar biblically is the good advice that God gives:

"You be holy, because I am holy" 

Holiness doesn't feel intuitive to who we are, but the path of Mussar guides and helps us by giving us a map to the inner real you. Mussar "offers us a body of practices we can employ to transform our inner ways." (Everyday Holiness pg 17)

We will have a wonderful time, connecting to Hashem as we draw closer to Him in the pursuit of holiness.
