Building Character the Jewish Way: 48 Steps to Being a Mensch

In Pirke Avot 6:6, we read that “The Torah is greater than the priesthood and than royalty, seeing that royalty is acquired through thirty virtues, the priesthood twenty-four, while the Torah is acquired through forty-eight virtues.”

Jewish tradition has long spoken of the importance of building character through cultivation of what are called middot, positive character traits, which include attributes like patience, humility, diligence, decisiveness, modesty and trust. Join us for our Tikkun Layl Shavuot to find out just what’s so Jewish about all this, and how this 48-step program can change your life.
