Discussion and text study of West End’s Middah (ethical value/character trait) of the month.

Our Middah study group meets on the third Monday of each month, led by Susan Schorr.  All WES members are invited to join our study of a selected Middah of the month. Discussions are text-based using materials from both ours and other spiritual traditions, as well as insights from modern authors, pop culture and more. Texts may range from Talmud to Psychology Today, from Maimonides to Leonard Cohen, from modern-day rabbis to classic Broadway.
