Mussar Spirituality: A Life Curriculum

A Talk with Rabbi Berg

Here is my recent podcast interview with friend and neighbor Rabbi Peter Berg of Atlanta’s Jewish community and head of staff at the Temple. He taught me about Mussar spirituality, similar to Christian spiritual disciplines associated with virtue ethics.

This substack is interested in how to speak the sacred in a seemingly secular milieu (tips, ideas, theories, strategies, inspirations, musings, etc.). I think much of what Rabbi Berg says addresses the contemporary world’s need for something more. When you listen, think of his language of “life curriculum,” “getting unstuck,” values, and meaning.
