I thankyou with deep gratitude for your book, course and writings on the Mussar Way. I am 84 years old living in the north of England, I have been exposed to very minimal religious study and teachings in my life, and consider myself very much a spiritual orphan. I randomly came across Mussar less than four weeks ago and enrolled on your free introductory course, I was staggered and amazed to find that I already have most, if not all the soul traits already within me. I am studying and applying the teachings in your online course, with positive changes and results already manifesting in my day to day life. I believe these teachings are relevant and very important for both Jewish and non-Jewish truth seekers.
Was my home HALAKHICALLY Jewish? Yes, definitely. But I agree - there was no spiritual element in it. My great-grandmother apparently quoted the Baal Shem Tov so often that my mother believed he must have been an ancestor of theirs, but I wasn't exposed to anything of a spiritual nature while I was growing up. Great insight. Next, I must honestly ask myself whether I made such a home for my own children. And I confess that there wasn't even much God-language, because I didn't want to impose any kind of beliefs on them. I wanted them to develop their own thoughts.
