  Two weeks into the month of Elul, we’ll check in on our fearless moral inventory. Just like the time between Passover and Shavuot, this is a special time on the our calendar. Elul is part of another special 50 days on the Jewish calendar, from Tisha B’Av to Rosh Hashanah. Please bring a dairy vegetarian dish to share. We’ll be in the Chapel.

• Sat1
  Selichot, Mussar, and Life Coaching co-led by Rabbi Gilah Langner and Regina Begliutti
  September 1, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
  Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington

  Join us to kick off the High Holiday season with traditional Selichot melodies led by Rabbi Gilah, and an exploration of Mussar as a technique for making practical personal change in the coming year. Our Mussar facilitator, Kol Ami member Regina Begliutti, explains,
  “It is not enough to have an intellectual understanding of Torah. To really know Torah, we must do it. But so often it is hard for us to do what we know intellectually. Mussar is a transformative Jewish spiritual practice aimed at character development and putting Torah into practice. It consists of practical actions, contemplative practices and study that have evolved over the past 1100 years to pinpoint – and break through – the inner obstacles that keep us from living a life of holiness and Torah. My approach is to help participants student select a practice or a habit to change and to refine the practice based on how well it is working. My goal is to help each student overcome the obstacles that prevent putting Torah into practice.”

  During the discussion, we will briefly review mussar vocabulary and practice, but the focus will be on trying out some practices.

  Regina Begliutti is a certified life coach and Mussar facilitator who has been teaching Mussar groups for the past seven years.
