Description
In this series, we’ll investigate whether and how we might be able to change our characters. Using sources ranging from the Talmud to Maimonides’s Mishneh Torah, to the Musar movement, we’ll explore how our characters are formed, and what tools we might have when we decided that we need to change our dispositions and tendencies for the better.
We’ll pay particular attention to the role that interpersonal interactions between students and teachers and between friends can play in this process.
