Synopsis:
This mussar-based commentary is a vital resource for Torah study, offering a thoughtful analysis of each of the 54 week. Each essay in this anthology brings a parashah into juxtaposition with one of the mussar middot (character traits as described within the Jewish school of ethics called mussar), thereby providing an applied lens of mussar teachings that helps us to delve deeper into our tradition with increased mindfulness and intention.
